The Holy Quran in Abdullah Yusuf Ali's English Translation: Some Reflective Remarks on its Various Versions
There have been several English translations of the Holy Quran. The earliest English translations of the Holy Quran were produced by certain leading Orientalists. Not adequately well-versed in Islamic studies, their English translations were often biased, hence utterly unreliable. This deficiency inspired Muslims to produce English translations of the Holy Quran. Abdullah Yusuf Ali was one of the early Muslim translators of the Holy Quran. Since his translation came on the market, it has received several editions, versions, and adaptations. The present, library-research paper casts a quick and critical look at Ali's English translation and what others have done on it. It is found out that some of the later-on editions of his translation lack many features of his original work. There have been several English translations of the Holy Quran.
