The Holy Quran is saturated with rhymes, rhythms and literary, poetic patterns peculiar to almost all its unique verses. If a translation into another language does not do justice to these divine-originated delicate, impressive, fine points and tries only to carry out the 'meaning', then half of the job of a good translation is left undone, as a literary masterpiece is an inseparable combination of content and form; and the Quran is a literary masterpiece even in the eyes of non-Muslim academic scholars. The learned translator's effort has, therefore, been intended to possibly carry over, into the English language, some of the beauty, sublimity, elegance, eloquence of the original and to echo those captivating, little nuances, which in the Quranic verses, lie somewhere between prose and poetry, despite the fact that they are neither; this unique style could only be termed Quranic.
