غلام رسول سعیدی ؒ کے ترجمہ قرآن کا چھ مختلف تراجم سے تقابل (ایک تحقیقی و تنقیدی جائزہ)

The Quran is the last book of Allah. The Quran was revealed in Arabic. The Qur'an was not revealed only to the Arabs. This book has been published to guide all Human beings. There for, translation of the Quran is necessary for non-Arabs. The translation of the Quran was started in the beginning of Urdu language. So far there have been many translations of the Holy Quran in Urdu . I have compared Allama Saeedi's translation of the Qur'an with other translations in this article. I have proved in this article that their translation is an extension of the Quran, the Barelvi school. Their translation is often matched by professional translation in many places. Barelvi School has original (genin), translation, Quran, Maulana Ahmad Raza Khan Barelvi and Allama Syed Mohammad Kachochvi. This work of mine is unique in its investigation  of Allama Ghulam Rasool Saeedi. In my opinion, resding the Qur’an is essential for the understanding of the Qur’an in order to understand the Qur’an but also the study of translations that have a distinct identity and they have been the study of our teachers.

Convenience sampling technique is used for drawing representative sample. A sample of 400 respondents is used. The response of the customers regarding the impact of determinants of brand positioning is elicited by way of self administrated survey. The relations of variables have been hypothesized, therefore, apart from descriptive statistics; t-Test, ANOVA and simple linear regression are used for analysis of data and hypotheses testing. Results support the arguments because a total five hypotheses are tested and all of them (i.e. H.1, H2, H3, H4 and H5) are accepted as significant positive impact is found by brand positioning determinants (slogan, logo, colour scheme, animated brand character) on brand positioning. The results also confirm that the two new variables "animated brand character" and "augmented product benefits" not only have significant positive impact on brand positioning but also have strong relation and greater contribution in brand positioning than other three variables. On the bases of results some recommendations were made regarding the careful selection of brand positioning determinants such as a slogan should be small and memorable, a visual front logo and a good mixture of colour scheme that evoke the people's emotions. Augmented product benefits should be provided in form of warranty, guarantee and after sale services.
