Qur’an translated into
te reo Mäori
Members of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community celebrated
the launch of the Kur’anu Tapu − a version of the Muslim
holy book, the Qur’an − translated into te reo Mäori.
His Holiness, Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad was in Aotearoa
New Zealand to help launch the te reo Mäori version of
the Qur’an, which has been translated from the Arabic
text. It took 25 years to complete. A copy was also given
to King Tüheitia at a reception at Türangawaewae Marae.
This comprehensive translation follows earlier partial
translations of the Qur’an.
