Every time i see a reference to The Glorious Qur'an, i remember Abdullahi Yusuf Ali whose life didn't end the way i believe it was supposed to (this is my opinion) but Allah knows best. A Thread:

Abdullahi Yusuf Ali wrote probably the most wildly used translation of the Qur'an titled, The Glorious Qur'an: Translations and commentary. The morning of 10th December 1953, a policeman found a half-conscious old man slumped on a street bench in the Westminster area of London.

The man died a day later and you guessed right, the delirious old man was Abdullahi Yusuf Ali. Although he wrote the most famous translation of the Qur'an, was one of the most senior muslim civil servants in India, inaugurated the first mosque in Canada...

...represented India at the Paris Peace Talks in 1919, was a trustee of London’s oldest mosque, was a known educationist and a prolific writer on Islam; He died alone, homeless, and with no one by his side.

Yusuf Ali lived at a time when the British were pillaging, ransacking and colonizing the world. During world war I, the british had nearly half a million muslim soldiers (indian/pakistani/bangladeshi) and Some refused to fight the Turkish Ottoman soldiers who had joined the war..
