Employing a unique system of hermeneutics, Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri, a preeminent scholar and recognised Authority of Islam, has produced a fully explanatory translation of the Qur'an into modern English, which at the same time maintains strict linguistic accuracy in relation to the original Arabic. The translation features parenthetic explanations in step with the translated sentence structures, which are also consistent with the structures of the Arabic text, and which conform to the Prophetic traditions and established exegetic principles. The result is a beautifully rendered translation, which provides clarity and precision in meaning without the need for lengthy footnotes. While keeping its exegetic quality the translation strictly adheres to the original Arabic text of the Qur'an without modification or accidental alteration. The approach used allows a number of other important benefits, including conformity with confirmed and extant scientific knowledge; the expression of the multiple layers of Qur'anic meaning; and elucidation of the inner spiritual dimensions of many verses. Produced by the author of the renowned Fatwa On Terrorism and Suicide Bombings, the translation clarifies the oft misundertstood concept of Jihad by contextualising the verses enjoining military struggle, dispelling the grave misunderstandings on this issue that have arisen on the part of both Muslims (particularly that section predisposed to violent extremism) and non-Muslims. Special consideration has also been given to verses dealing with relations with Jews and Christians and other non-Muslims in order to inform interfaith activity and relationships within wider society.

The first book to explore the modern history of Islam in South Asia The first modern state to be founded in the name of Islam, Pakistan was the largest Muslim country in the world at the time of its establishment in 1947. Today it is the second-most populous, after Indonesia. Islam in Pakistan is the first comprehensive book to explore Islam's evolution in this region over the past century and a half, from the British colonial era to the present day. Muhammad Qasim Zaman presents a rich historical account of this major Muslim nation, insights into the rise and gradual decline of Islamic modernist thought in the South Asian region, and an understanding of how Islam has fared in the contemporary world. Much attention has been given to Pakistan's role in sustaining the Afghan struggle against the Soviet occupation in the 1980s, in the growth of the Taliban in the 1990s, and in the War on Terror after 9/11. But as Zaman shows, the nation's significance in matters relating to Islam has much deeper roots. Since the late nineteenth century, South Asia has witnessed important initiatives toward rethinking core Islamic texts and traditions in the interest of their compatibility with the imperatives of modern life. Traditionalist scholars and their institutions, too, have had a prominent presence in the region, as have Islamism and Sufism. Pakistan did not merely inherit these and other aspects of Islam. Rather, it has been and remains a site of intense contestation over Islam's public place, meaning, and interpretation. Examining how facets of Islam have been pivotal in Pakistani history, Islam in Pakistan offers sweeping perspectives on what constitutes an Islamic state.
