List of translations of the Quran

7th–10th centuries

  • Salman the Persian translated the first chapter of the Qur'an, Al-Fatiha, from Arabic to Persian.
  • Greek: We know nothing about who made this translation, or for what purpose. It is however very probable that it was a complete translation. We know of it (and substantial fragments are preserved) because it was used by Nicetas Byzantius, a scholar from Constantinople, in his 'Refutatio' written between 855 and 870.
  • Although not existing today, a Sindhi translation was completed in 884 in Alwar (present-day Sindh, Pakistan), which had been commissioned by Abdullah bin Umar bin Abdul Aziz.

    • This is inferred from two references: "… an anonymous early 9th century Kashmiri Hindu king ..." wrote a letter to Amir Abdullah bin Umar bin Abdul Aziz of Mansura, requesting him to dispatch a scholar to his court who could explain the tenets of the Islamic shariah in the language "al-Hindia". The 9th century Persian traveller Buzurg bin Shahryar mentions in his travelogue, Aja’ib-ul Hind [‘The Wonders of India’], that the Hindu king of Mehroke in Kashmir had commissioned the preparation of a Kashmiri translation of the Holy Qur’an.

    • Afrikaans

  • Die Heilige Qur'ān, by Imam Muhammad A Baker. First edition 1961. The style of Afrikaans dates from the 1940s–1960s. The author deliberately used spelling which mimicks Arabic pronunciation even if those words have been taken up into mainstream Afrikaans with a different spelling or pronunciation. It is a literal translation, but the text reads like normal, idiomatic Afrikaans, with a few errors. The word "surah" was translated "hoofstuk" (meaning "chapter"). The book does not contain the Arabic text.
  • A newer Afrikaans translation of the Qur'an was made using the principles of dynamic equivalence, but that version is not popular among Afrikaans Muslims.
