The Holy Qur'an has been translated into English by many scholars, both Muslim and orientalist. Alexander Ross was the first English translator. He published his translation in 1649, based on du Ryer's French Translation. In 1734, George Sale translated the Holy Qur'an directly from Arabic. Various other English renderings of the Holy Quran were later published. Amongst English translators, John Meadow Rodwell, E. H. Palmer, Richard Bell and Arthur John Arberry are worth mentioning. Amongst Indian scholars, Dr. Abdul Hakeem of Patiala is the forerunner in the field. Maulvi Muhammad Ali was a Qadiani whose translation and commentary of the Holy Qur'an became very popular before the publication of English renderings by Pickthall and Yusuf Ali. This article introduces the English translation by Hafiz Ghulam Sarwar. Allegations about the translator's affiliation to Ahmadism have been repudiated in the light of internal and external evidences.

There is a special significance of marriage in Islam. In Quran and Hadith. Muslims have been encouraged in this regard. In some respect marriage (نکاح) is Sunnah, and in some respect it is obligatory () واجب for Muslims. In view of the law (شریعت) , the purpose of marriage in not to merely attain physical delight. Rather, the human breeding has to be legitimate. In the present age, steps are being taken to bring family planning in the society and due to this; limited resources of society are being described. Due to some legally excuses (شرعی: مجبوری) , Islam has allowed the family planning but by saying this can not be thoroughly allowed that increase in population will reduce the resources. Therfore population should be stopped from growing and encouraged people to family planning. As a Msulim, this belief should be strong that the real God (Real Supplier/حقیقی: پالنے: والا) is Alimighty Allah, and Man can only try in this matter. The Holy Quran has clearly stated that: “Do not kill your children for fear of poverty, for we shall provide sustenance (nourishment) for those children, as well as, for you. Indeed, Killing (innocent) children is a heinous crime. ”(Bani Irseal: 31) Therefore, it is extremely unwanted to adopt family planning (birth control) by the fear of lack of resources.

Every single thing made by Allah, the Creator of all things has its own essence of beauty and attraction to it. However, out of all the stunning creations of Almighty Allah, humans are the most superior creation which has the ability to gain knowledge. We, humans, have been given the power by Allah to explore the rest of his creations in nature and fully understand the beauty and functions of each and every aspect of it in order to take advantage of it. Islam is a religion based on nature and Shariah is a law which lays down rules for Muslims to follow which also allows us to move forward with the advancements in the world. It has a unique way of life for any person of any time to follow which cannot be found in any other religion. However, any development which takes place creates new problems and new obstacles which can only be manoeuvred by the researchers and scholars of that specific time who will decide the right use of that commodity and explain the commodity. This will allow the new invention to be utilised fully. Moreover, in this world many people want to look their best and feel their best and will be willing to go through many ways for their ideal look. With this desire, many jobs become associated with achieving this for people. Nonetheless, this leads to people putting their time, money and effort into something which can risk their entire life which can result in either an advantage or disadvantage. Moreover, they should know whether this is against their religious values. Those acts which cross your religious boundaries and are considered “haram”or not permitted are wrong. Thus, it is necessary for us to first consider whether it is crossing the boundaries and proving to be disadvantageous for you so that the wrong norms and values are not transmitted into the future generations.

A Phenomenological Critique of Sayyid Ahmad Khan’s Conception of Reason
Author: Husain, Hafiz Syed
This paper expounds a critique of Sayyid Ahmad Khan’s conception of reason. Khan conceived reason (‘Aql) as a harmonious coordination of two of its aspects or sub-structures: ‘Aql-e-Insānī or ‘Aql-e-Kullī and Nūr-e-Qalb or Nūr-e-Fitrat. It is argued that these two perspectival conceptualizings of reason presume fundamental theses which disrupt any possibility of such coordination. By the method of comparison and analysis predominantly motivated by phenomenological methodology, this investigation explains how these fundamental presuppositions disrupt the proposed coordination along three descriptive contours: (i) reason-in-itself, (ii) the goal of reason, and (iii) the directedness of reason. The purpose of this study is to develop an understanding of the problem of reason which can philosophically set the possibility of limited and scrutinized mutual critical reevaluations between secular and Islamic sciences
