tafheemMangalore, July 4: The Kannada translation of the first volume among the sixth volumes of world-renowned 'Tafheem-ul-Quran' will be released on Friday, July 6, in the city.

A press release issued here by Shanthi Prakashana, the publishers, stated that retired professor of Mumbai University Talthaje Vasantha Kumar would release the book at a programme in Town Hall. The programme would commence at 5:00 pm.

Dr Sayyed Akheel Ahmed, Dean of Science and Technology Department, Mysore University, Pradeep Kumar Kalkura, President of Dakshina Kannada Sahithya Parishath, B S Sharafuddeen, Guest Lecturer at Kuwait-IGNOU centre will be the chief guests on the occasion.

Dr Muhammad Saad Belagami, General Secretary of Jamath-e-Islami Karnataka will be presided over the function.

The Tafheem-ul-Quran is a six-volume translation and explanation of the Qur'an in Urudu language by Abul Ala Maududi. Maududi spent 30 years to accomplish this work from 1942 to 1972.

The work is a combination of orthodox and modernist interpretation and has influenced modern Islamic thought very deeply. This translation differs from traditional exegeses in several ways. It is more than a traditional commentary on the scripture as it contains discussions and debates regarding economics, sociology, history, and politics. In his text, Maududi highlights Quranic perspective and argues that Islam provides ample guidance in all spheres.

Maududi uses the standard technique of providing an explanation of the Qur'anic verses from the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammed (pbuh), including the historical reasons behind the verses.

The 'Tafheem-ul-Quran' deals extensively with issues faced by the modern world in general and the Muslim community in particular.


The Kannada translation of the condensed version of 'Tafheem-ul-Quran' was already published by the Shanthi Prakashana in two volumes. The same publishers are now translating the complete six volumes into Kannada. P Noor Muhammad has translated the first volume.

Bengaluru, Feb 13: Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa on Thursday said the government had initiated measures to implement the Sarojini Mahishi report as the 12-hour Karnataka bandh call by several pro-Kannada organisations under the banner of Karnataka Sanghatanegala Okkoota began on Thursday.

“Government always stood for Kannada and Kannadigas and initiated measures to implement the Sarojini Mahishi report,” Yediyurappa said. Meanwhile, in Bengaluru, Ola, Uber and auto services were affected even though buses were plying as usual. Security has also been beefed up in Bengaluru after stones were pelted at a Tirupati-Mangaluru bus in Farangipet, though no one was injured.

Bangalore University has postponed all postgraduate (PG) exams scheduled for today. A pro-Kannada activist, Praveen Shetty, was kept under house arrest and police have detained a few people, including those involved in Cauvery protests and other bandh cases.

The organisations are demanding the implementation of a report by former union minister Sarojini Mahishi that recommends a certain percentage of jobs to Kannadigas in public sector undertakings, private companies, and multinational companies. The report was submitted in 1984 but is yet to be implemented.
