Making the Qur’an Accessible to Spanish-Speaking Readers
Del Noble Corán by Abdel Ghani Melara Navio is one of the most respected and widely distributed Arabic-to-Spanish translations of the Qur’an. As Islam continues to grow in Spanish-speaking communities around the world, the need for a clear and faithful translation of the Qur’an has become essential. This edition fulfills that need, providing an authentic and accessible version of the Qur’an for Spanish-speaking Muslims and seekers of knowledge.
Abdel Ghani Melara Navio, a Spanish Muslim and scholar, translated the Qur’an with the goal of staying true to the original Arabic text while making the meanings clear for modern Spanish readers. His work is recognized for its balance of accuracy, readability, and spiritual depth.
Why Spanish Qur’an Translations Matter
Spanish is the second most spoken language in the world by native speakers, with over 460 million people using it daily. Across Latin America, Spain, and Hispanic communities in the United States, there is a growing interest in Islam. Many Muslims in these regions are reverts, new learners, or people raised in Muslim families who want to understand the Qur’an more deeply.
For these readers, having a Qur’an translation in Spanish is not just helpful—it is essential. It allows them to:
Understand the Qur’an’s teachings directly in their native language
Reflect on the guidance of Allah in a personal and accessible way
Share the message of Islam with family, friends, and communities
Strengthen their practice of Islam by connecting with the meanings of the text
This edition of Del Noble Corán makes these goals achievable for Spanish-speaking audiences, whether they are lifelong Muslims or new to the faith.

Helping Reverts and Spanish-Speaking Muslims Connect with the Qur’an
Many Spanish-speaking Muslims are reverts who come to Islam as adults. For them, learning Arabic fluently may take time. This Spanish translation allows them to immediately engage with the Qur’an, understand the meanings of what they recite, and build a personal relationship with the Book of Allah.
Reading the Qur’an in Spanish helps Spanish-speaking Muslims:
Perform their prayers with better focus because they understand what they are reciting.
Reflect on the stories of the Prophets and lessons of the past.
Understand the rules of halal and haram, ethics, and social justice from the Qur’an’s perspective.
Grow spiritually by studying the Qur’an regularly in their own language.

Del Noble Corán serves as a bridge for non-Muslims who wish to learn about Islam directly from its primary text. It removes the filters of media bias and allows people to see for themselves the Qur’an’s message of monotheism, justice, mercy, and guidance for humanity.

Explore the core beliefs of Islam
Compare Qur’anic teachings with those of other scriptures

Building a Stronger Connection with the Qur’an
Reading the Qur’an in a language you understand strengthens faith. It opens the heart to the guidance of Allah and helps the reader implement Qur’anic values in real life.
