Gohari is known for his excellent scholarly approach to more mundane issues such as politics in Central Asia, yet “The Quran” set his record right. By offering a plain and understandable text, he is delivering the awesome task of bringing the scriptural complexities into some acceptable form of fathomable simple phrases. Seemingly this must have required him to bow before temptation of compromising the content to offer an agreeable form. However, it may not be the case. A comparative look to the Arabic texts and their rendered counterparts into English in this work shows beyond doubt the enormous level of precision applied by Gohari in order to remain loyal to the meanings of the Quran. Surely this is a turning point in the long history of the English translations of the Quran and could well be considered a pioneering, yet authentically original work of scholarship.
