520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc. It is a well-established fact nowadays that modernity impacts Islam, but there has not been much focus on how modernity impacts the Qur'ān, the foundational text of Islam and the verbatim word of God. This book argues that the early Muslim Qur'ān translations into English are attempts to reconcile the Qur'ān with modernity by producing translations that encompass modern concepts and interpretations of the Qur'ān. Are these modern concepts and interpretations valid or they alter the word of God? This is the main question that the book attempts to answer, particularly that these early translations have affected and still affect Qur'ān translation. .
