Guided by its own commitment to serve the Quran, amana publications undertook this tremendous task, and in cooperation with the lIlT completed this honorable work. The last complete review was undertaken by the late Ismail Rijr al Faliiqi, who was the n Presidem of the International Institute of Islamic Thought (lI lT) in the United States of America. A number of committees re v:iewed all the responses carefully, examined the text meticulously, upda ted the material and refined the commentaries. The selection committee, comprised of highly reputable Muslim scholars, decided on the work of 'Abdullah Yiisuf 'Ali and solicited opinions and cri ticisms from Islamic institutions and scholars around the world. About eight years ago, the work for this edition began when we started the J,eJection of fhl' mo.~1 recogniSl"d and authentic available English translation of the meaning of the Qur'in. With the Grace of Allah, amana publications, a subsidiary of Amana Corporation has succeeded in publishing this great work of the late 'Abdullah Yiisuf 'Air, revised for the first time after his death with the highest standard of scholarship and authenticity that it deserves. PUBLISHER'S NOTE Al J:Iamd Ii Allah (Praise be to Allah), this Revised Edition is a culmination of experiences in the last two decades in publishing translations of the meaning of the Qur'an in several languages.
