Abdullah Yusuf Ali - Preface To Third Edition, 1938

Preface To Third Edition, 1938

“ Since I last greeted my readers collectively I have been able to perform the Pilgrimage to the holy city of Mecca and the sacred territory around it and seen with my own eyes the city and territory of Medina, with all the country around and between the holy Cities. I have realised for myself the scenes in which the revelations came which I have humbly sought to interpret. I hope that some glimpses of this experience will have been conveyed to my dear readers. ”

—A. YŪSUF ‘ALĪ, 1938, Online Quran Project
