This English version of the Holy Quran is the translation of Kanz-ul-Eeman the Urdu version of Imam Ahl-e-Sunnat<br />Maulana Shah Ahmed Raza Khan of Brielly.<br />This is an accepted fact that the revealed Arabic words of the Holy Quran cannot be actually transformed in any<br />other language of the world. <br />Literal translation of Arabic Quran conveying the same meaning is not aonly difficult<br />but is impossible.<br />Therefore the translation of Arabic Quran in any other language is usually an explanatory translation. <br />Imam Ahl-e-<br />Sunnat Shah Ahmed Raza Khan's Urdu translation knowd as Kanz-ul-Eeman is an explanatory translation. This<br />explanatory translation of Urdu was completed in the beginning of 20th Century i.e. 1910.<br />It is the most famous and accepted urdu translation of muslims belonging to the school of jurisprudence and the<br />institution of the people of tradition and of the congregation in Indo-Pak sub-continent.<br />Imam Ahmed Raza Khan, a great jurist and a learned scholar of Islam was born in 1858 at Brielly (India) an died in<br />1921. He is considered to be the most learned and authentic authority on Quran, Sunnah and jurisprudence by<br />majority muslims of this sub-continent. He was a great writer and wrote about one thousand (1,000) small and big<br />books relating to various aspects of Islam.<br />He devoted his entire life to the propagation of real faith and traditions of the Holy Prophet (Salallaho Alaihi W'alihi<br />Wasallam). <br />His main theme of the life was extreme and devoted love of ALLAH and his last Messenger Muhammad<br />(Salallaho Alaihi W'alihi Wasallam). <br />He could bear any thing except utterances against Islam, ALLAH and His<br />Messengers. <br />He was a traditionist and a true follower of the jurisprudence of Imam-e-Azam Abu Hanifi (Radi ALLAH<br />Unho). He was a great mystic too and was a staunch lover of Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani (Radi ALLAH Unho) of<br />Baghdad.<br />Imam Ahmed Raza Khan's religious works have no parallel in his time. <br />His ability, far-sightedness and depth of<br />thought have been recognized by the Ulmas and Muftis of all the four scholars of jurisprudence not only of this subcontinent<br />but of Harmain Sharifain and other Muslim world. He was awarded certificates of recognition by these<br />men of Islamic learning when he visited Harmain Sharifain for performing Hajj (Pilgrimage) in the begining of 20th<br />Centrue.<br />Though he has written numerously, but his two most famous works the translation of Holy Quran in Urdu and<br />Fatawa-e-Razavia in twelve huge volumes have proved his superiority, deep thinking, ability and extreme love of<br />ALLAH Almighty and the Prophet Mohammad (Salallaho Alaihi W'alihi Wasallam) over entire group of Ulmas of his time. <br />Imam Ahl-e-Sunnat Shah Ahmed Raza Khan filled a new spirit and enthusiasm for Islam in the hearts of<br />muslims. <br />He revived love and affection of the last prophet and his teachings. <br />Seeing his works for the revival of<br />Islam, he deserves to be called a revivalist of 20th Century.
