A Few Words about the Present English Translation of Ma'ariful-Qur'an Let me say a few words about the present English translation of the Ma'ariful-Qur'an. Although a large number of English translations of the Holy Qur'an are available in the market, yet no comprehensive commentary of the Holy Qur'an has still appeared in the English language. Some brief footnotes found with some English translations cannot fulfill the need of a detailed commentary. Besides, they are generally written by the people who did not specialize themselves in the Qur'anic sciences, and their explanatory notes do not often reflect the authentic interpretation of the Holy Qur'an. Some such notes are based on an arbitrary interpretation having no foundation in the recognized principles of the exegesis of the Holy Qur'an, and are thus misleading for a common reader. On the other hand, during the last few decades, the Muslim population has increased among the English speaking countries in enormous numbers. These people and their new generations need a detailed commentary of the Holy Qur'an which may explain to them the correct message of the last divine book with all the relevant material in an authentic manner which conforms to the recognized principles of tafsir (the exegesis of the Holy Qur'an). Since Ma'ariful-Qur'an was the latest book written on these lines and was proved to be beneficial for a layman as well as for a scholar, it was advised by different circles that its English translation may fulfill the need. It made me look for a person who might undertake the task, not only with his professional competence, but also with his commitment to serve the Holy Qur'an.
