Description

Fazlollah Nikayin (b. 1938), Iranian-born lecturer, translator and linguist. As a professor he taught at the Islamic Azad University, Tehran in Iran and at the University of Cambridge, England. Later on he moved to Skokie, Illinois in the USA. Nikayin began working on his Quran translation in 1989 and finished it in the year 2000, attempting to translate it into English poetry. The translation tries to reflect the beauty, eloquence and sublimity of the original Arabic Text and to some extent captures the rhythmic cadence and imagery of the Arabic original.
