THE HOLY QUR’AN Translations of Selected Verses Martin Lings The renowned scholar and Sufi master, the late Dr. Martin Lings was working on a full translation of the Qur’an when he passed away.

In addition, there is an appendix of Dr Lings’ translation of the Ninejy-nine Beautiful Names of God with the original Arabic and transliteration; and a cross-referenced index which is intended to work as a -minor concordance.

*** “These translations by a master of the English language who is also an eminent student of the Qur’an are of inestimable value.”-Gai Eaton
***
“In addition to his stunning classical English, Dr. Martin Lings was both a master of Arabic and a brilliant scholar of Islam. This rare combination of skills made him the ideal candidate to translate the Qur’an.” —Hamza Yusuf, Zaytuna Institute
