1 HIDAYATUL QUR AN (Tafsir of al-qur an, Vol. I) Prof. Abul Hasan M Sadeq, Ph. D. Vice Chancellor, Asian University of Bangladesh sadeqaub@gmail.com Hidayatul Qur an, vol. I, is a Tafsir of Sura Fatihah and Surah Baqarah of the holy Qur an in a new approach. The Qur an presents the comprehensive divine code of life in every aspect of human life. Thus every verse of the Qur an has lesson(s) for mankind. This Tafsir presents such lessons of each verse or groups of verses one by one under separate headings. This is the unique feature and approach of this Tafsir. Other Tafsir books are valuable which provide explanations, interpretations and commantaries of the Qur anic verses, but do rarely present the lessons in such a manner. This Tafsir is being published by Islamic Foundation Bangladesh. The language of the Tafsir is Bengali, but there is a plan to translate it into English. Two volumes have been published so far. Other volumes are in progress. Information on the first volume is as follows. Name of the book: Hidayatul Qur an Volume: Vol. I Suras included: Sura Fatihah and Surah Baqarah ISBN: Date of publication: June 2008 No. of pages: 531 Price: Tk. 284 Publisher: Islamic Foundation Bangladesh Agargaon, Sher-e-Bangla Nagar, Dhaka 1207 Phone: (008802) islamicfoundation.bd@yahoo.com; First, some comments on this Tafsir from two great Islamic scholars and mufassirs are given below in their own languages with English translations. Thereafter appears the author s introduction to the Tafsir and a sample of the Tafsir from Hidayatul Qur an, vol. I. (Cover page of the book as printed by the Publisher is at the end). 1

2 COMMENTS by Professor Dr. Wahbah al-zuhayli [This is an introduction of Professor Sadeq s Hidayatul Qur an by Professor Dr. Wahbah al-zuhayli, a great Islamic scholar, author of a famous Tafsir al-tafsir al-munir fi al-a qidah wa al-manhaj and also of many other Islamic books]. بسم هللا الرحمن الرحيم. نحمده ونستعينه ونصلى على نبيه األمى محمد صلى هللا عليه وسلم وعلى آله و أصحابه ومن تبعهم بإحسان إلى يوم الدين وبعد! فإنه مما الشك فيه أن القرآن الكريم هو الهداية كلها وطريقة النجاة إلى الجنة لمن اتبعها, فعلماء اإلسالم اعتنوا بالقرآن الكريم منذ بداية اإلسالم وخدموه من خالل تفسيرهم لهذا الكتاب المجيد. وأنا أيضا وكانت لى السعادة أن أكتب كذلك باسم التفسير المنير فى العقيدة والمنهج فالناس مازالوا يهتدون بهذه التفاسير المؤلفة. إنه لمن دواعى سرورى أن صديقى الحميم العالم الجليل األستاذ الدكتور/ أبوالحسن محمد صادق قد وفقه هللا تعالى أيضا تاليف التفسير للقرآن المجيد باسم "هداية القرآن" وذلك بأسلوب جديد مفيد ومن أبرز ميزات هذا التفسير أن المؤلف قد سرد الدروس المستفادة المتعلقة بكل آية مفسرة تحت عناوين مستقلة. أرى ان هذا التفسير سوف تفيد العوام كما أتمنى أن يجد المتخصصون أيضا ضآلتهم. أتمنى لجهده قبوال واسعا فى أوساط الباحثين عن الهداية من كتاب هللا عز وجل. وتقبل هللا منى ومناجميعا. آمين. د. أ. وهبة مصطفى الزحيلى. 2

3 ENGLISH TRANSLATION [This is an English translation of the introduction of Hidayatul Qur an by Professor Dr. Wahbah al-zuhayli, a great Islamic scholar, author of a famous Tafsir al-tafsir al-munir fi al-a qidah wa al-manhaj and also of many other Islamic books]. In the name of Allah, The compassionate and merciful We praise Allah (swt) and seek His help; and peace be upon His ummi messenger, his famiy members, and his real followers until the Day of Judgment. Undoubtedly, the Qur an is full of hidayah (guidance), and the strait path to the jannah (heaven) for those who follow this hidayah. The scholars of Islam have been giving serious attention to this divine book since the inception of Islam, and have been providing important services to the Qur an in the form of writing Tafsir. I was also fortunate enough to be able to write a Tafsir entitles al-tafsir al-munir fi al-a qidah wa al-manhaj. Mankind have been receiving hidayah from these books of Tafsir. I am happy that Professor Dr. Abul Hasan M Sadeq, a bosom friend of mine and a notable A lim (Islamic scholar), has been fortunate enough to write a Tafsir entitled Hidayatul Qur an, and this has been done in a new approach which is very useful. A unique feature of this Tafsir is that the author has provided the teachings and lessons from each and every verse of the Qur an under separate headings. I hope this Tafsir will be useful for the general readership, and also the specialists will find their lost treasures. I wish his effort would receive wide acceptance among the researchers in hidayah from the holy book of Allah (swt). May Allah (swt) accept such efforts from me and from all of us. Ameen!

5 ENGLISH TRANSLATION [This is an English translation of the introduction of Hidayatul Qur an by Allama Ubaidul Haq, former Head Moulana of Madrasa-i-Alia, Dhaka, and former Khatib of the national Baitul Mukarram mosque (equivalent to the Grand Mufti), Bangladesh]. Allah, the Almighty, declared that Qur an provides guidance (hidayah) to the right path. Since the inception of human race, Allah has sent his books to the Prophet of different ages. The goal was to guide them to Siratul Muntakim or the straight path so that they can achieve success in this world as well as in the eternal life of Akhirah, and they may enter the eternal paradise and heaven by acquiring rida (satisfaction) of Allah. Prophets are sent to humanity so that they can deliver realistic and practical knowledge of divine scriptures/books. In addition, they are expected to establish a society which will be based on Islamic ideals derived from divine books. Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) is the last messenger of Allah and the holy Qur an is the last divine book from Allah. There will be no more Prophet until Qiyamah, and thus there will be no more divine scripture from Allah as well. So, this Quran is the only legislature and code of conduct that is accepted by Allah. The holy Qur an presents norms and values for resolving all the issues of mankind that may arise until the Day of Judgment. It is thus an obligation of mankind to ponder on the Qur an in order to find solutions to all the emerging problems and issues. There has been numerous researchers concerning Qur an resulting in a large number of Tafsir books. Valuable commentaries and interpretations have been written on the Qur an in many languages. We can understand and realize the value and the meanings of the Qur an by studying them. One may find out lessons for and the solutions to real life problems if we study these commentaries and interpretations very seriously and deeply. But it becomes often difficult for general people to find out distinctive lessons from them. It is a great pleasure for me to see that Professor Dr. Abul Hasan Md. Sadeq took the initiative to do this painstaking job in his Tafsir book entitled Hidayatul Qur an. The unique feature of this Tafsir is that he has provided lessons to be derived from each and every verse under separate headings for real life situations, which in my knowledge is not done in any other Tafsir book. This will help the wider audience to accept and understand the Qur an. I studied the whole work with utmost care and I believe that this Hidayatul Quran will play an important role in helping mankind getting the needed guidance (hidayah) from the Qur an and for establishing the Islamic code of life. I wish and pray that Allah (swt) accepts this effort and makes it a path finder to achieve Jannah for all of us. Ubaidul Haq 5
