Muhammad Marmaduke Pickthall was a distinguished Western scholar of Islam, renowned for his English translation of the Qur'an. A convert from Christianity, Pickthall was a novelist, esteemed by literary giants such as D. H. Lawrence and H. G. Wells, alongside his work as a journalist and religious leader. His dramatic conversion to Islam followed a public address on 'Islam and Progress,' marking a profound personal and intellectual shift. Pickthall's unique perspective as a Westerner deeply engaged with Islamic scholarship offers a compelling voice in religious and literary discourse.
