Dr. Muhammad Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali and Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan are considered among the most prominent scientific figures who served the Islamic library in the modern era through their efforts in translating Sharia texts into the English language. Dr. Al-Hilali was born in Morocco in 1893 and emerged as a linguist and Hadith scholar who traveled the world, including India, Iraq, and Germany, to seek knowledge and teach. He was known for his mastery of several international languages, which enabled him to convey meanings with high accuracy. As for Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan, he was a physician of Afghan origin born in Pakistan in 1927, specializing in chest diseases in Britain before moving to work in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, where he managed the University Hospital at the Islamic University of Madinah.
Their close collaboration resulted in the production of "The Noble Qur'an", which is classified as one of the most widely circulated and reliable English translations in the world, in addition to their complete translation of Sahih Al-Bukhari. Dr. Al-Hilali passed away in 1987 in Casablanca, while Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan passed away in 2021 in Madinah, where he was buried in Al-Baqi, leaving behind a scientific legacy that contributed to facilitating the understanding of Islam for millions of English speakers worldwide.
