Wallace Fard Muhammad, the founder of the Nation of Islam, exclusively used Ali's translation. The English Translation of the Holy Qur'an with Commentary (1917), translated by Maulana Muhammad Ali, was "the first English translation by an Ahmadiyyah follower to be generally available and to be made accessible to the West." Muhammad Ali was the leader of the Lahori Ahmadis. He was the first Muslim to present a translation of the Qur'an in English. The Qur'an (1910) was translated by Mirza Abul Fazl of Allahabad, India.
Muslims did not begin translating the Quran into English until the early 20th century. Thomas Jefferson had a copy of Sale's translation, now in the Library of Congress, that was used for House Representative Keith Ellison's oath of office ceremony on 3 January 2007. George Sale based this two-volume translation on the Latin translation by Louis Maracci (1698). The Koran, Commonly Called the Alcoran of Mohammed (1734) was the first scholarly translation of the Quran and was the most widely available English translation for 200 years and is still in print. It was translated from the French translation, L'Alcoran de Mahomet, by the Sieur du Ryer. The earliest known English translation is The Alcoran (1649) which is attributed to Alexander Ross, chaplain to King Charles I. The first translations were created in the 17th and 19th centuries by non-Muslims, but the majority of existing translations have been produced in the 20th and 21st centuries.
Following is a list of English translations of the Quran.
