Autorenporträt
Muhammad Marmaduke Pickthall (1875-1936) was an English writer, scholar, and one of the most prominent figures in the early 20th century Islamic world. He is best known for his English translation of the Quran, The Meaning of the Glorious Koran (1930), which is regarded as one of the most important and widely used translations in the English-speaking world. Pickthall's translation is noted for its literary quality and accuracy, and it remains a significant contribution to the understanding of Islamic texts in the West. Born in Harrow, England, Pickthall was initially educated in Western thought and literature, but his interests shifted toward the Middle East. After converting to Islam in 1917, he spent several years living in the Muslim world, which deeply influenced his views and writings. His works, including Veiled Women (1913), The House of Islam (1906), and With the Turk in Wartime (1914), explored themes of Islamic culture, history, and the lives of Muslims in the early 20th century. Pickthall's writings helped bridge the gap between the West and Islam, providing Western readers with insights into Islamic beliefs and practices. His legacy continues to influence both Islamic scholarship and cross-cultural dialogue between the West and the Muslim world.
