The French translation that we present to you today has been proofread and validated by:

Shaykh Zakaria Seddiki (graduate in religious sciences from al-Azhar University)

I would like to emphasize the quality of the translation submitted to me. The translator tried, without being too dispersed, not to neglect the polysemy of the words used, to remain constantly faithful to the meaning of the verses while taking into account the linguistic reality of Arabic.

Pr. Tariq Ramadan (Doctor of Letters in Islamology-Arabic)

This translation is an important contribution, the formulation is worked, the meaning preserved. The study is carried out with a rigor and fidelity that must be welcomed.

Shaykh Yusuf Ibram (graduate in religious sciences from the University of Riyadh and member of the European Fatwa Council)

It remains undeniable that the translator did a most serious and difficult job. The style is refined, the language sustained. The work was deepened by the study of several exegeses, notably those of at-Tabarî and Ibn Kathîr.


It is enriched with notes, annexes and maps:

Many notes have been integrated and several appendices and annexes (200 pages) complete the translation of the Koran:

Notes that are a synthesis of the interpretations that can be found in famous and accredited exegeses.

Maps that locate the peoples and places as well as the events that took place during the Revelation.

An introduction to the History of the Koran which allows you to understand the circumstances of the Revelation, the transmission and the compilation of the Koranic Text.

A glossary that defines Quranic terms and concepts and complements the comments given throughout the translation.

A biography of the Prophet which gives a chronological presentation of the facts mentioned in the notes.

An index that allows the reader to locate the proper names and the main themes of the Koranic text.

Whether the reader is an adorer, a student or simply curious, he will find in this new translation the answer to his expectations, whatever they may be.
