With his translation of 'The Qur'an', Kader Abdolah makes the Islamic Holy Book accessible to non-Arabic readers. His source material was his father's old Arabic Qur'an. The Qur'an does not have strictly logical structure; the 114 suras branch out like trees and with his unique translation, Abdolah guides his reader through the gardens of the Qur'an. He has provided some of the suras with introductions, making them more understandable for readers who have no Muslim background.
