Qur’an: The Sublime Word
A new English translation and modern commentary of the holy Qur’an, the first ever to be written in the United Kingdom for the twenty first century audience.
The Qur’an is the final book of Almighty Allah, which was revealed upon the final Messenger, Prophet Muhammad (Allah bless him and grant him peace). This book is comprehensive, and its teachings are complete and perfect, and full of guidance.
The people of knowledge have presented esteemed and valued services in relation to Qur’an commentary. By diving deep into the ocean of words and meanings, they extracted countless pearls of knowledge and wisdom, which they have written into the books of Qur’an commentary. A common and ordinary person, however, does not have the ability with which he can comprehend matters relating to etymology, syntax and language. Therefore, there was a need for a commentary in which the meaning of the Qur’an is explained in a very simple, straightforward and easy manner.
Furthermore, the Quran is a universal, all-inclusive and eternal message of guidance that is not bound by any time or place. Therefore, there was also a need for a commentary that gives greater importance to those issues and proofs which can have an effect in today’s society that is ardently dedicated to intellect, reason and logic, and that can prove helpful towards understanding Islam. It is part of human nature that logical reasoning and practical examples are desired in order to gain heartfelt satisfaction and contentment. With these thoughts in mind, the commentary to this sublime word is presented here.
Qur’an: The Sublime Word (Volume 1) includes Chapter 1 (al-Fatihah) to Chapter 6 (al-An‘am) and a detailed subject index so you can quickly find verses relating to a particular subject.

Waseem Azam –
Firstly, may Allah SWT shower His blessings on you all this Ramadhan!
My parents presented me and my three siblings with Qur’an – The Sublime Word – Volume One as a gift, Alhamdullilah. Through the Grace and Mercy of Allah SWT, reading this has made me fall even more in love with our beautiful and unique Deen. The simplicity of the translation together with the eloquent commentary truly gives the reader an enhanced and improved view of what it is that our Rabb is conveying.
Take the beginning and how the word Bismillah is translated and commented on – Allah’s name I begin with, the utmost Kind, the ever Merciful. Allah’s name is written first – just in this, one should appreciate every blessing that our Rabb bestows.
We eagerly await the future volumes inshaAllah and pray every household benefits! May Allah SWT reward all the efforts that have gone into producing such amazing and priceless work.
I would like to congratulate all the team at Jamia Al-Karam and Al-Karam Publications for the wonderful work you all have done and continue to do. Our duas are with you all and most notably the founder and president, Shaykh Muhammed Imdad Hussain Pirzada. May Allah SWT bless and reward each and every one of you. Ameen.
JazakAllah Khair

All of Pirzada books are simple and amazing. This is the most relevant and easy to read english tafsir for modern day that I have found. May Allah have mercy on Jamia Al Karam, Sheikh Pirzada, and Pir Karam Shah. (An institution and scholars who understand the requirements of modern time)
Really looking forward to the remaining volumes. I strongly recommend anyone who can read english to read this tafsir because the word of Allah, the miracle, the revelation to the final Prophet, all those who have god consciousness should learn and understand. We should appreciate the beauty within the primary source of islamic law.
