Tahrike
Tarsile Qur'an, Inc started publishing Qur'ans over 28 years ago in New
York. The main objective of the publishing house was to increase the
availability of translations of the Qur'an during an era when there was
a lack of availability of accurate translations. In fact the inaccuracy
of many translations and in one case, the absence of entire chapters
from copies motivated us to start this organization. Today Tahrike
Tarsile Qur'an publishes over 25 editions of the Qur'an in a variety of
languages available in local bookstores and libraries and boasts
distribution of more than one million copies worldwide. With Islam
being the fastest growing religion on the planet, these numbers will
soon multiply.
Our
perseverance and hard work over the last three decades have put us in
the forefront of publishing Islamic literature. Recently we have
ventured into the publication of children's books. With stories from
the Qur'an of the Prophets, Arabic language aids and fictional
children's stories with underlying Islamic values and lessons.
Proceeds
from sales of the Qur'an are used to print more copies of the
Qur'an. Copies of the Qur'an are donated to prisons, Islamic
institutions and gifted to government officials including Presidents,
Legislators and Mayors for the purpose of educating and enlightening
people about Islamic ideology and practices. We work to highlight the
similarities between Christianity, Judaism and Islam, and to eliminate
common myths and propaganda found in the media today.
In
a world where Islam is so misunderstood, it is crucial to promote
inter-faith dialogue and to educate people on the true essence of
Islam. Tahrike Tarsile Qur'an's efforts also include writing letters to
leaders during the time of Islamic Pilgrimage [Hajj] and the Christian
celebration of Christmas, providing them with information on how both
Prophet Abraham [Ibrahim] and Prophet Jesus [Isa] are crucial to the
Islamic belief system.
It
is this very belief in Prophethood that is an integral part of Islam.
Many are unaware that Muslims believe the Qur'an to be the final
revelation, proceeding from the Book of Psalms, the Torah and The
Bible. Many of the stories that are found in these texts are also found
in the Qur'an. The story of Adam and Eve [Adam and Hawa], Noah's Ark
[Nuh], Joseph [Yusuf], Moses [Musa], David [Dawood], Solomon [Suleiman]
and many more concluding with the last Messenger, Prophet Muhammad.
