Laleh’s Books
Books Written, Edited or Translated by Dr. Laleh Bakhtiar
Books
Dr. Bakhtiar had translated, written and edited more than 100 books on Islam, focusing on many aspects of the Quran including how the Quran teaches critical thinking, Quranic psychology, and Sufism. Her translation of the Quran, published in 2007 called The Sublime Quran, is the first critical translation of the Quran into English by a woman.
“Reading the Quran was so illuminating. I was able to find a wonderful translation by Laleh Bakhtiar, and it opened me up to the beauty of the faith in a way that no interpretation of the text had before. And, of course, in the book you find, very clearly, Islam’s dedication to social justice, to peace and to the less fortunate.”
