QUR'AANIC STUDIES - A Modern Tafsir PART II

I present this work in the hope that it will prompt my Readers to try and understand the divine Message in its original Arabic text. They should remember that no translation can ever equal the original Arabic text in its divine grandeur and pristine clarity. The Qur'aan remains valid for all times since its revelation until the Last Day. It therefore needs to be studied from time to time in the changing perspectives. It would be wrong to confine it to situations of any past period. Most commentators so far have based their understanding of the Qur'aan in the strict perspective of the circumstances and situations prevailing at the time of its revelation way back in 7th century A.D. Muslim mindset generally has thus got stagnated and therefore unable to cope with the changing situations of the changing times. This humble attempt of mine is to help Muslims generally to come out, Allah willing, of that crippling stagnation. This Part of my Qur'aanic Studies relates to Chapters 10 to 25 of the Holy Qur'aan.
