Assamese is one of the major Indian languages, spoken by nearly 22 million people (1991 census) in Assam, a state in the North-East region of India.

Dr. Zohurul Hoque's translation is the first and only translation of the Qur'an in Assamese language in the Internet. Currently we have first few Surahs on the server. Please come back again, as we will have rest of the Surahs available soon, insha-Allah.

The first edition of Assamese translation is out of print. Works on the second edition of the translation is underway and insha-Allah will be published in future in print version.

Dr. Zohurul Hoque is the only person who has translated the Holy Qur'an into three languages: Assamese, Bangla and English. Dr. Hoque's approach to the Holy Qur'an is immensely refreshing, endowed with rational, scholastic, scientific and proper Islamic perspective within the scope of broad Sunni understanding, without any bias to any particular school of thought.
