Quran Translation in Kurmanji Published in Iran

TEHRAN (IQNA) – A translation of the Holy Quran in Kurmanji Kurdish has been published in Iran.

 Musa Rezayi Golyani, the translator, said he did the rendering in 5 years, completing it in 2002.

He said it has been published in 604 pages, each page 15 lines, and printed in a Quran Printing House in Khorasan Razavi province, northeast of Iran, IRIB News reported.

According to Golyani, the Dar-ol-Quran Kareem Organization gave permission for publication of the translation after examining it to make sure it conforms to the rules of writing and reciting Quranic verses.

The rendering will be unveiled later this week, he went on to say.

Kurmanji is a Kurdish dialect spoken mostly in northeast Iran.
