With that said, we invite everyone to read Qur’an Made Easy, an English translation by the recently deceased, Mufti A.H. Elias of South Africa. The translation with in-line commentary is free on Amazon and can be freely downloaded using the Amazon Kindle App to your PC, Android and iOS devices.

We’ll also be reading The Clear Qur’an, which is an excellent English translation by Dr. Mustafa Khattab. It can be read on this website (go to settings, choose “translations”, then, select “Dr. Mustafa Khattab”).

Throughout this month we’ll be posting material exclusive to the Qur’an as we want to focus on the Qur’an during…the month of the Qur’an.

and Allah knows best.

Quran Made Easy – Mutfi Elias Has Passed Away

Posted on by Leave a comment

Yesterday it was made aware to me that Mufti AH Elias, the person behind Quran Made Easy, an English translation of the Qur’an with inline commentary had died. Shaykh Muhammad Yasir al Hanafi posted this notice on Facebook yesterday.

Just before every Ramadan I have posted a link to his translation of the Qur’an on Amazon Kindle. Some years ago when I came across his translation, I found it to be very illuminating and so thought it would be useful for both Muslims and non-Muslims. In that regard, I sent an email asking that he discount the cost of the translation temporarily for Ramadan. Subsequently, I was surprised to see that he had made it permanently free. May Allah reward him for his kindness. You too, can download his translation for your Android, iOS phones, as well as for your PC. The Kindle App is free for all devices and an Amazon account is also free, no credit card needed.

Here’s the link to get the Qur’an translation.

Verily, it is from Allah we come and it is to Him that we return.

and Allah knows best.

New Early Manuscript Copy of the Qur’an Discovered?

Posted on by Leave a comment

As brought to my attention by Br. Kaleef of Discover the Truth, a recent news article has been circulating mentioning the “discovery” of an extremely early Qur’anic manuscript in Tubingen University in Germany:

Scholars at the Coranica Project, part of the University of Tübingen, examined a manuscript written in Kufic script, one of the oldest forms of Arabic writing. Using carbon-14 dating on three samples of the manuscript parchment, the researchers concluded that it was more than 95 percent likely to have originated in the period 649-675 AD.

The manuscript is one of more than 20 fragments of Kufic script held by the Tübingen University Library. This particular item was donated to the university in the 19th century.

However, as Dr. Saifullah has duly pointed out, Islamic Awareness has been aware of this collection of manuscripts since 2010 and has for sometime possessed photos of them which have been published on the site, they were already dated to the first century AH as well. We’d like to finally thank the rest of the world for catching up with us!

and Allah knows best.
