The Noble Quran (Word For Word) 3 Vol Set

The Noble Quran (Word For Word) 3 Volume Set pairs the complete Arabic Quran with a word-for-word English breakdown. The underlying English translation is by Dr. Muhammad Taqi-ud-Din Al-Hilali and Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan, one of the most widely used English translations of the Quran. Darussalam's Research Center built this word-for-word study format on top of that translation, matching each individual Arabic word to its English meaning in color-coded text, with the fuller idiomatic English sentence running alongside for readers who also want the smoother, sentence-level meaning. The set runs across three volumes, over 1,000 pages combined, printed at 17 x 24 cm in four-color text.

The word-for-word layout is aimed at readers building real Arabic vocabulary, not just following along in English. Each Arabic term is color-coded to its matching English word directly beneath it, so a reader can trace the grammar and vocabulary of a verse term by term, then read the same verse's natural English sentence right beside it for context.

What's inside

Word-for-word Arabic-to-English breakdown across the complete Quran, color-coded so each Arabic term links visually to its English equivalent. The full idiomatic Hilali-Khan translation runs alongside, for readers who want the natural sentence-level meaning as well as the term-by-term breakdown. Bound across three sturdy volumes at 17x24cm, sized for regular use at home or in a study circle rather than sitting on a shelf.

Who this is for

Students building real Quranic Arabic vocabulary rather than only reading a translation, English speakers who want to follow the Arabic text word by word, and teachers who want a ready-made word-recognition resource for a class or halaqah. You'll find more Quran translations in our Translation collection and the wider Quran collection.
