This is the first detailed account of the life and ideas of 'Abdullah Yusuf 'Ali, whose The Holy Qur'an: Text, Translation and Commentary is the most widely used English translation of the Qur'an.
Ali's background and dedication to scholarship shine through in this timeless work. I highly recommend Abdullah Yusuf Ali's 'The Quran' to readers seeking a faithful and informative translation of the Islamic holy book.
