Methodology of Qur’ānic Translation by Sheikh ‘Abdul Waheed Jān Al Sirhindī – A Critical Analysis
Abstract
The Holy Qur'ān is the ultimate Divine guidance. Muslim scholars of all the times conveyed the meanings of the Qur'ān in different languages of the world with par excellence. In this research paper, an attempt has been made to analyze and introduce a unique Sindhī translation of the Qur'ān named "Bayān al Raḥmān fī Tarjumah al Qur'ān" by Sheikh ‘Abdul Waheed Jān Al Sirhindī. The article evaluates the methodology of the Sheikh critically and analytically in an objective manner. The distinction of this translation has been highlighted and the limitation of Sindhī language has also been pointed out in a lucid manner. The language used by the translator is easily comprehensible and transmits the themes of the Qur'ān to its addressees cohesively. It is worth mentioning that footnotes used by Shaikh for the complete understanding of the Qur'ān are effective, useful and of great importance for its readers.
