Books with title The Prophet: New English Translation

In this edition, the classic wisdom poetry of Kahlil Gibran's original text gets fresh new language makeover. Where the original sometimes relied on stodgy, antiquated phraseology, this new version is pitched perfectly to the contemporary ear, while keeping the timeless insights and foregrounding the beautiful language of the original 1923 edition. "Gibran's masterwork gets a much-needed facelift by today's leading epic poet." The original text was panned by most poetry critics. Here's a version they can celebrate. "The difference is refreshing: like switching from the 'King James' version to the 'New Jerusalem.' Brilliant work. Will be much appreciated by fans of Gibran and those discovering him for the first time."

The Quran is the sacred text of Islam. For Muslims, it is the word of the one God. The Quran was revealed to the last prophet and messenger Muḥammad (محمد) from the year 610 until his death in 632 by the angel Gabriel (جبريل). According to the Quran, Allah is the author of all the sacred books of the three monotheistic religions that are Islam, Christianity, and Judaism. He thus revealed the Gospel to the penultimate prophet Jesus and the Torah to the prophet Moses. We read thus in verse 3 of sura 3: “He brought down on you the Book (the Quran) with the truth, confirming the Books descended before him. And He brought down the Torah and the Gospel”. However, Islam considers that with the exception of the Quran, all the holy books have been falsified by man. Verse 75 of Sura 2 goes in this direction: “- Well, do you hope [Muslims] that such people [the Jews] will share your faith with you? while a group of them; after having heard and understood the word of Allah, knowingly falsified it. ”This present work is a translation into English of the meaning of the verses of the Quran made by Maulana Wahiduddin Khan.
