Description
"When the Moon Split" is based on Arabic sources and was originally written in Urdu. The translators were thus confronted with the arduous task of working with three different languages involving different narrative techniques.
Rendering 'When the Moon Split' into English entailed more than a simple translation of the text. It required the adaptation of a text with its unique cultural framework to the standard narrative conventions of another culture. At the same time, the translators were required to adhere to the outline of standard Arabic biographies of the Prophet.
"When the Moon Split" is unique in that it is a straightforward account of the Prophet's life, based on what Muslim scholars and historians regard as the most accurate and reliable sources. No attempt has been made to "modernize" the Prophet by emphasizing certain of his qualities that are currently fashionable, nor by omitting or justifying anything that would be considered "politically incorrect" by some contemporary readers.
