The Koran (Qur’an) is looked upon by Muslims as the word of God (Allah) as revealed to the prophet Muhammad. It is divided into 114 chapters (surahs), organized roughly by size. This version, THIS IS of the Glorious Koran, is usually a widely used English translation of the Koran with a Muslim Englishman. Many Muslims, however, including Pickthall, believe that true translations from the Koran from the original Arabic are impossible, and find out translations into additional languages just as useful interpretations.
