About Tafseer Ahsan Ul Kalam With English/Urdu/Arabic Text

Tafseer Ahsan Ul Kalam is a large hardback edition of the Holy Qur’an that places the Arabic text together with Urdu and English translation, published by Darussalam. It is built on the well-known English rendering by Dr Muhammad Muhsin Khan and Dr Muhammad Taqi ud-Din al-Hilali, and it is meant for families and students who read in more than one language. If you are searching for Tafseer Ahsan Ul Kalam, this is a handy way to read the words of Allah in Arabic and understand them in both Urdu and English from a single book.

Why Tafseer Ahsan Ul Kalam is a useful family Qur’an

Many homes in Kashmir and across India speak Urdu with elders and English with children. A single Qur’an with both translations brings the family together over the same page. A grandparent can follow the Urdu, a student can follow the English, and everyone can look at the Arabic, the language in which Allah Almighty revealed the Qur’an to Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.

The Hilali-Khan translation behind this edition

The English translation by al-Hilali (1893 to 1987) and Muhsin Khan (1927 to 2021) was completed in Medina in 1972 and first published in 1977. Darussalam issued a completely revised edition in 1994, and the translation later became widely distributed in the Muslim world. Its approach is to give the meaning of the verses together with explanatory notes, drawing on classical commentary, including a summarised version of the tafsir of Ibn Kathir (RH), with additions from al-Tabari (RH) and reference to Sahih al-Bukhari. This explains why readers who want not only a translation but also a short explanation often choose it.

What you will find in this kind of edition

• The complete Arabic text of the Qur’an
• Urdu translation, with explanation where the editors have added it
• English translation of the meanings of the verses
• Explanatory notes to help the reader understand the context of the verses
• A large hardback format that is easier on the eyes than a pocket copy

Darussalam’s Qur’an with English and Urdu translation is laid out with Arabic, Urdu and English in parallel columns and with a subject index at the back.

How to benefit from a tafsir edition

Begin with the Arabic, even if you read slowly, because the recitation itself is an act of worship. Then read the translation of the same verses and, where there is a note, read it with the verse in front of you. Take a short portion each day, such as one page after Fajr, and reflect on a single lesson from it. Ask Allah to open your heart to its meaning. A translation is an aid to understanding the meanings and does not replace the Arabic, so keep recitation with correct tajweed alive alongside your study.

For rulings that need a scholar, consult a trusted scholar rather than relying on a single book. Reading tafsir is best done with humility, and the first commentary of the Qur’an is the example of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and his Companions.

Who should buy it

• Families who read Urdu and English at home
• Students of Islamic studies who want Arabic with two translations side by side
• New Muslims and those learning Urdu or English alongside the Qur’an
• Masjids, madrasas and libraries that need a large, durable copy
• Anyone who wants a meaningful gift for a wedding, Ramadan or Eid

Looking after your Qur’an

Keep the book on a clean, raised place, wash your hands before you read it, and cover it from dust. A large hardback is heavy, so a Qur’an stand makes long reading sessions easier and protects the spine.
