MA’ARIFUL QUR’AN, ENGLISH TRANSLATION
Ma’ariful Qur’an, a comprehensive Urdu commentary of the Holy Qur’an by Late Mufti of Pakistan Mufti Muhammad Shafi, (Published in early 60’s in 8 volumes), father of Justice Mufti Muhammad Taqi Usmani. Justice Mufti Taqi Usmani has personally revised the commentary and added valuable new information based on current development. The translation of Tafsir initially was carried out by Late Prof. Muhammad Hasan Askari, (a well known scholar of English literature and criticism) then, after by Prof. Muhammad Shamim and Muhammad Wali Raazi. The English translation of the Holy Quran was adopted from a committee making up of Prof. Shameem (Late) Wali Raazi and Mufti Taqi Usmani
Although a large number of English translation of the Holy Qu’ran are available in the market, but no comprehensive commentary of the Holy Qur’an has still appeared in the English language. Some brief footnotes found with some English translation cannot fulfill the need of a detailed commentary. Besides, they are generally written by people who did not specialized themselves in the Quranic sciences and their explanatory notes do not often reflect the authentic interpretation of Holy Quran. Some such notes are based on a arbitrary interpretation having no foundation in the recognized principles of the exegesis (tafsir) of the Holy Qur’an and are thus misleading for a common reader.
