If humanity wishes to accomplish connection with its Lord
then acquiring cognizance of Him is dependent on the recitation of the Qur'an,
understanding Its meanings and, once an understanding is acquired, adherence to
Its knowledge and injunctions. After writing a commentary on Sūrah Yūsuf and
Sūrah Nūh, Maulānā Abdul Rahim sahib has now written this commentary on Sürah
Maryam. May the Most Noble Master, by granting an honour of approval, accept
this service. Amin, O Lord of the Worlds. -(SHAYKH) YŪSUF MOTALA (DAMAT
BARAKATUHUM)
The science of tafsir
is an essential one and much benefit is reaped from its study. It reminds us of
the fundamentals which form the crux of our belief i.e. monotheism as well as
providing narrations of key stories from the past, accounts and historical
events. From the tafsir of Sürah Maryam, we learn about the glad tidings that
are given to those who have taqwa and those who are grateful as well as
warnings for others. Another key message within the observation of this Surah
is the strengthening of the messages of the Prophets (May the peace and
blessings of Allah be upon them all). This book is an enlightening and
educational reading for one seeking a comprehensive understanding of the Holy
Qur'an. -(APA) BINT ABIL KHAYR
(HAFIZAHALLAH)
The Holy Qur'an. The ultimate manifestation of God's grace
for man, the ultimate wis- dom, and the ultimate beauty of expression: in
short, the irrefutable, inimitable word of God. Sūrah Maryam (Mary) is the 19th
chapter of the glorious Qur'ān. This com- pilation of the tafsir of Sūrah
Maryam (Mary) covers a narrative on Mary as well as the narratives of her son,
the prophet 'Isa (Jesus): the prophet Zakariyya (Zachariah); his son Yahya
(John the Baptist); the prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) and the prophet Mūsā (Moses),
and many others (May the peace and blessings of Allāh be upon them all). The
tafsir covers the birth of Jesus in detail and elaborates on his true identity.
It confirms the reality of resurrection and offers depictions of the Day of
Judgement alongside depictions of this life. Shaykh Abdul Raheem is eminently
qualified to take us through this beautiful Surah having spent the last 25
years teaching and lecturing on the various texts which form the Dars Nizami
