### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pivotal Moment in Quranic Translation
*by S***. on April 3, 2023*

Sheikh Nuh Keller’s Reliance of the Traveler has been unarguably the best translation of an Islamic jurisprudence text in the English language for over thirty years. It served as a catalyst to highlight the importance of seeking traditional, qualitied Islamic knowledge and inspired the likes of Imam Zaid Shakir (Making of a Muslim, 2000) and Sheikh Gibril Haddad (Gibril Haddad, Wikipedia) - and his Quran Beheld will surpass this, Allah willing. The Quran Beheld is the crystallization of almost 40 years of experience in translation, 26 years as a sheikh in the science of tasawwuf (classical sufism), 17 years of intense study of the Quran, and decades of access to the latest resources and technology (compared to the Reliance of the Traveler which was first composed on a typewriter!) His translation is monumental due to the 'talaqqi' (one-on-one instruction) method employed during the 17 years of his work. He sat with a traditional sheikh in the field of 'tafsir' (Qur’anic exegesis) and synthesized 19 of its major works into his translation. Every single “word, letter, preposition, inflection, and case-ending” was considered (Quran Beheld, p.xii). The result is what Sheikh Gibril Haddad recently said in his review of the Qur’an Beheld: “…[T]his effort might come nearer than all previous attempts and form the prime orthodox reference and best planche de salut yet for the English-speaking public to peruse the Healing as closely as they would without fear of misguidance, opacity or disappointment.” By relying on the traditional Islamic method of 'talaqqi' throughout, the translator was able to bring forth seven key areas of meaning from the original Arabic not captured in previous translations, and it made a huge difference. These meanings are not just in a few places of the Quran, but form its very fabric, and add to the beauty, clarity, and argumentative force of its verses. As literature, it is sublimely beautiful, and the translator has drawn inspiration from giants like Milton, Austen, Irving, Coleridge, Wordsworth, and Scott for style (Quran Beheld, p.xxxii) AND rare grammatical formulations (Highest Signs: Translating the Quran Beheld). While some may prefer a translation written in simple English, the Quran is no simple text, and it is well known that even the companions of the Prophet (Allah be well pleased with them) did not know the meaning of every word in it. When an edict is brought from the king, it is in his speech, not that of common folk – so what about the King of Kings? And should the translation of His edict be any different? This work is so pivotal that future translations will incorporate these areas of meaning by referring to the Quran Beheld or adopting the 'talaqqi' method – and to neglect doing so would be a violation of a Muslim’s trust to faithfully convey the message. To see just how different it is, look at the attached photos comparing translations. I drew these examples from the introduction to the Quran Beheld and added comparative translations. This is in no way to disparage the great effort put forth by these translators – they are considered by many (including me) to be the giants of their field. Each example represents an area of meaning the Quran Beheld brought into English. I have included a column explaining the effect achieved by each inclusion, which has also been gleaned (mostly) from the introduction. After reading it, I am confident that you, too, will see just what difference it makes. *To understand why and how these areas of meaning arise, and for many examples, please read the complete introduction which can be found by conducting an Internet search for ‘Quran Beheld Introduction’.*
