Book launch: The Qur’an A Verse Translation
On Tuesday 5th March the Muslim Institute teamed up with publishers W. W. Norton & Company to host Bruce Lawrence and M.A.R. Habib for the London launch of their new ground-breaking publication The Qur’an: A Verse Translation.
The event, open to Muslim Institute fellows and the public, took place in the beautiful surroundings of the library at Conway Hall, central London. The chair, Farhana Mayer, engaged the two authors in an introductory conversation, interspersed by readings from their new translation. This gave the audience a fascinating insight into their 10 year endeavour to render the Qur’an into verse.
The conversation was followed by an audience Q&A that made for a wide-ranging and deep engagement with the speakers and their newly wrought text.
M.A.R. Habib is a Distinguished Professor of English at Rutgers University. Among his many books is a volume of poetry, Shades of Islam: Poems for a New Century (2010). He lives in Cherry Hill, New Jersey.
Bruce B. Lawrence is the Marcus Family Humanities Professor of Religion Emeritus at Duke University and adjunct professor at the Alliance of Civilizations Institute, Ibn Haldun University, Istanbul. He is the author, coauthor, or editor of sixteen books about Islam, including The Koran in English: A Biography (2017). He lives in Hillsborough, North Carolina.
Farhana Mayer is a published author in her field of Qur’anic Hermeneutics. Her latest publication An Introduction to Qur’anic Ecology and Resonances with Laudato Si’ (Laudato Si’ Research Institute | Randeree Charitable Trust, 2023) compares Qur’anic principles applicable to integral ecology with the themes of Pope Francis’ ecological epistle Laudato Si’: On Care for Our Common Home. Her earlier publications include: Spiritual Gems: The Mystical Qur'an Commentary Ascribed to Ja`far al-Sadiq (Louisville, Fons Vitae, 2011) and Anthology of Qur’anic Commentaries: On the Nature of the Divine with F. Hamza and S. Rizvi (Oxford, Oxford University Press | Institute of Ismaili Studies, 2008). Her recent research at Oxford University explores a Qur’anic perspective on the qualitative and ontological relationship between God and humankind. Farhana was formerly a lecturer in Sufism at SOAS (2010-2012) and also at the Institute of Ismaili Studies (in Sufism and Qur’anic Exegesis), where she headed the Graduate Programme in Islamic Studies and Humanities (2012-2015). She has a long-standing involvement in interfaith dialogue and promoting understanding and cooperation.

    may ALLAH SWT forgive me but they sound like apologists to me. I will be more comfortable if the translators are specialists keeping true to the tone and meaning and not apologizing for most of it.

    if ALLAH (SWT) is explicit in Quraan, we must accept it and not be an apologist just to soften the tone.

    IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR ISLAMIC PEOPLE!!! Assalamuallaikum wr wb, Have you arrived at the happy news that the Prophet Muhammad SAW told him about Al Mubasyirot/Dream right!!! our brother Muhammad Qasim Bin Abdul Karim the descendant of the prophet Muhammad SAW from Bani Quraisy has had a divine dream, namely meeting Allah swt (In the veil/There is a barrier) and meeting the Prophet Muhammad SAW, also told to spread the dream to Muslims!!! HIS IMPORTANT DREAM MESSAGE IS TO AWAY FROM SHIRK!!! The Prophet saw sat beside me and said: "Qasim, I came for a very important task.-I want you to do this job for me. Convey all the dreams that Allah swt has shown you and convey my messages to everyone.[DREAM 02-04-2016] The first order from Allah swt in Muhammad Qasim's dream: "Qasim, spread your dreams all over the world, I want everyone to know who you are" [April 2014 dream] Prophet Muhammad SAW Said in the Dream of Muhammad Qasim: "O my son, the Day of Judgment will not happen until 4 big signs of the Day of Judgment and Qasim my son have appeared, and the first is your appearance" [ Dream April 10, 2015] Prophet Muhammad SAW Said in Muhammad Qasim's Dream: "I have told you to all my people 1400 years ago, so that on the Day of Judgment later none of my people said "O Prophet, why don't you tell us about Qasim, If you tell us, of course we will become one, Qasim supporters." [Dream 30/09/2015] Haddist: "Whoever sees me in a dream, then he will see me in a state of consciousness and the devil cannot resemble me." (HR Al Bukhari) Note: THERE IS NO FAULT FOR ISLAM PEOPLE TO LEARN MUHAMMAD QASIM's DREAM BEFORE LATE, MAY ALLAH SWT GIVE YOU HINT Yt; MUHAMMAD QASIM PK

    Extremely inspiring. Professor Habib knows that I am a legally blind person. It was a great coincidence that I just finished "listening" to tafseer of Surah Noor by Dr. Israr Ahmed this morning. When Professor Habib recited from Surah Noor followed by his and Professor Bruce's English translation, I had such a great feeling which I cannot describe in words. I look forward to an audio version of this book which people like me, who cannot read due to their visual impairment, would be able to benefit from this book by listening to its contents. It is indeed a great accomplishment of these two Muslim scholars. May Allah SWT reward them for their efforts in this world and the hereafter.

    ""The ink of the scholars Holier Than The blood Of the martyrs.""" Everything in search of and engagement with the Orinator of Everything,To whom we shall all return one day,when the fruits of our earlier pursuits will be rewarded if they had been carried out with respect sincerity and Faith. May Allah Bless us. May Putin like Pharaoh be punished for what he is,through mere hubris,upon the brave people of Ukraine. And I wonder why India abstain from condemning This Monster. Monsters like Hitler,Mussolini,Stalin,are raising their heads all over again as History is repeating itself,because history is human and where humans live,oscillation from good and evil prevails. Nelson Mandela,Martin Luther King,The Mahatma Gandhi,were those we respect and those who symbolize Good. Trump was another Evil personified. That North Korean President another,devil to whom Trump,wasted no time to affiliate with. We miss Angela Merkel. We love The New Zealand Prime Prime Minister. Those are women who Care. No Nationalism,not in this day and age. Civilise your primitive instincts.Respect Respect Respect. Tame your Amygdala. Follow your Heart. Jesus said Love your Neighbour like yourself what a most fundamental tenet of a civilisation and most relevant approach today. Covid was a natural disaster although it could possibly have been unleashed by human God only know,natural disasters like cyclone,floods etc although again made worse by humans but are natural.Not so with wars. Long Live people who love and respect one another. Death to those who think their Religions are better their countries are first,their colour better,their races and what not.. Victory to the Ukraine. Bravo to those western and eastern who did not abstain. And watch India,a land with good people mostly but with the Horror of their current amygdalaish state politics. Pakistan,distant yourself from Putin. Syria distant yourself from Putin. Arab Emirates,why did you abstain? Long live Ukraine,you are showing your faith in your Values by being prepared to sacrify life limbs. God Bless you.
