This set places one or a couple of words
of the ‘ayah in one line of a column and gives their meanings side by
side in another column, taking care to see that the flow and
intelligibility of the English meanings are not thereby lost. This
method enables the reader to identify which English words or phrases
represent the meaning of which words in the Arabic text. It has the
additional advantage of keeping the meaning strictly to the wording of
the text or importing in the meaning any word or expression that has no
correspondence with anything in the text.
To further facilitate the understanding
of the text, the meanings of almost all important words in the text have
been given separately. To do this a number has been placed on the
English word which represents the meaning of the particular word in the
text and then the meanings of that word have been given under that
number in another column by the side of the general meaning of the text.
The numbering has been kept individual for each page. Also grammatical
notes, particularly verb forms and verbal nouns, have been given as far
as possible. As the words recur at different pages, so their meanings
and grammatical notes also have been repeated, giving cross reference to
at least one previous occurrence of the word, indicating the page on
which and the number under which the word has been explained before. The
aim has been to enable a non-Arab reader to understand the Qur’an as
well as to improve his knowledge of Arabic, particularly the Qur’anic
Arabic.
