Excegesis & Translation of the Quran


Imam Ahmad Raza wrote a commentary of the Holy Quran in parts, on the occasion of us of Shah Abdul Qadir Budauni, he spoke for six hours on Surah-al-Duha. Then he said that he had written Commentaries on same verse of this Surah. He left writing after 80 Juz, as it was time consuming & he could not find time for writing the commentary of the whole Quran. Had he written the commenary it would have been doubtlessly a work of Singular distinction like his translation of the Quran. 

Beside the commentary of the Quran, he translated the Quran into Urdu entitled with "Kanzul Iman" Kanzul Iman is infact a treasure of Iman. Not only in Urdu but in any launguage such an eloquent, literary and correct and appropriate translation of the Quran would not be found. Where as the heretics by name of Quranic translation have blemished the omnipotence, glorification & sanctity of Allahu Tala and chastity of the Holy Messenger Sall Allahu Alaih Wa Sallam; 

Imam Ahmad Raza defended the chastity of Allah & His Messenger Sallal Lahu Alaihe Wasallam. See the Example: They also played tricks & Allah also played tricks & the trick (Dau) of Allah is the best of all (Mahmoodul Hasan) 
  • And they were planning of their own and Allah Mian was planning of (his) own and Allah is the most stable planner (Ashraf Ali Thanvi) 
  • And they defrauded as they could & Allah was doing His secret planning & the secret planning of Allah is the best of all (Imam Ahmad Raza) 
  • And were (you) unaware of the way then Showed (you). the right way (Fateh Muhammad Jalandhri) 
  • And Allah found you unaware (of shariah) so told you the way (of sharia) (Ashraf Ali Thanvi) 
  • In love Him he found you. The way to Him he showed you (Imam Ahmad Raza) 

In what way Ashraf Ali Thanvi, Mahmoodul Hasan & Fateh Mohammad Jalandhari have attacked on Allah & the Prophet Sall Allahu Alaihi Wa Sallam & how correctly Imam Ahmad Raza has manifested the chastiy & glorification of Allah & His Prophet Sall Allahu Alaihi Wa Sallam? Besides the Sunni Ulama & scholars even the opposite group has also appreciated Imam’s Translation. 

Theologians from Jama’ate Islami, monthly "Alhasnat" Rampur write :- 

"In this regard this translation (Kanzul Iman) is destinguished that the translations of which Quranic Verses create disrespect in the glory of Allah & the Messenger Sall Allahu Alaihi Wa Sallam due to a little negligence, Ahmad Raza Khan has specially acted cautiously."
