ABOUT THE BOOK

Quran Saurabh (The Fragrance of the Quran) is a milestone in the landscape of Hindi religious literature. Authored by Muhammad Farooq Khan, this work was written with the specific intent of making the message of the Quran accessible to the Hindi-speaking masses, particularly the non-Muslim population of India.

The book is not just a literal translation; it is an "exegetical selection." Khan carefully chose significant verses and chapters that highlight the universal values of monotheism, social justice, human rights, and moral conduct. By using "Saurabh" (Fragrance) in the title, the author suggests that the book offers the essential essence of the divine revelation. It is highly regarded for its chaste, idiomatic Hindi and its ability to explain complex Quranic concepts using vocabulary and metaphors familiar to the Indian cultural context, thereby fostering interfaith dialogue and mutual understanding.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Muhammad Farooq Khan (1932–2021) was a distinguished Indian scholar, translator, and veteran of interfaith harmony. Born in Sultanpur, Uttar Pradesh, he dedicated his life to bridging the linguistic gap between Arabic, Urdu, and Hindi.

He is perhaps best known for his Hindi translation of the Quran, which is widely considered one of the most accurate and readable versions available today. Khan was a prolific writer who authored or translated over 50 books on Islamic philosophy and comparative religion. His work was characterized by a "middle-path" approach, focusing on commonalities between different faiths. For his immense contribution to literature and education, he was honored with several awards, including the prestigious Sahitya Akademi Translation Prize.
