Abstract

The final divine message in the form of Qur'an was revealed on Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) as the guidance for the believers in particular and for humanity in general. So, its study and understanding is essential not only for the Muslims but it has many secrets for the success and prosperity for the whole humanity as well. The exegetes of the Qur'an have explained these practical and scientific
guiding principles as per their deliberations and depth according to their specific methodologies. They
have made their utmost efforts in this regard so that the understanding of the Qur'an could be made easy.
It would be possible by understanding first their methodologies and through the comparisons of some
different methodologies having some common points. Therefore, I have selected there exegeses of the
prominent Islamic Scholars of Indo-Pak subcontinent, named Mu'arif-ul-Qur'an by Mufti Muhammad
Shafi, Tafhim-ul-Qur'an by Syed Abu Al Ala Maududi and Zia-ul-Qur'an by Syed Muhammad Karam Shah
Al-Azhari.
The underline objective of this thesis is also to minimize or reduce the sectarian sentiments among some
muslims against one other. It would be achieved through describing or elaborating the common salient
features of these three books. A Tafsir in this way we will be able to remove the misgiving among the sects
and thus have an opportunity to resolve the differences for the great cause of the unity of Muslim Ummah.
May Allah Guide and Help me to complete this great task for the success in this life and the hereafter.
