Maulana Azad's Tarjuman-al-Qur'an is an earnest attempt in elucidating the message as it was understood by the followers of the Prophet in his lifetime. He maintained that the latter-day commentators had side-tracked the earlier authentic interpretation under the influence of alien culture and philosophy. The present commentary is more explicit than a mere translation but by no means an elaborate one.
The Tarjuman is a classic in Urdu and is regarded as Azad's more outstanding contribution to Islamic learning. At the author's request, Dr. Syed Abdul Latif had magnificently reproduced the thought-content of the original in English preserving in the process the flavor of Azad's style
