The Marathi Translation of the Quran

Ahsanul Bayaan, the popular Urdu Translation of Maulana Mohd. Junagadi.
Ahsanul Bayaan is considered as one of the authentic Urdu translations
widely read in the Indian sub continent. Few years back, it was also published by
the Saudi Arabian Govt. through its Quran Centre in Madinah, said
the statement.
Jamiat Ahle-Hadees Maharashtra the
publisher and sponsor of the entire project of the Marathi Translation
of the Holy Quran to be released on January 24 at Hajj House took
four years to complete the work.
“Translating the Quran has never been
an easy task. For, it requires lot of concentration, determination
and efforts so that it does not have any mistake. Doing it in a
language like Marathi was even more difficult”, Dr. Saeed
Faizee said while speaking to ummid.com.
“However", he added, "Considering the
importance of the Marathi language in Maharashtra and looking at the
persistent demand from various circles, we took it upon ourselves to
do the job. While working for four long years, instead of looking at
any time-limit we concentrated on perfection and to make the final
copy free from a single error."
Interestingly, the Marathi Translation
of the Holy Quran that will be released this Sunday is perhaps the
only Quran translation of its kind that has the name of a Hindu, Ajay Sonar
imprinted on it.
Ajay Sonar a computer DTP operator from Malegaon,
who will be felicitated by the organizers during the International Quran Conference in Mumbai, helped Jamiat Ahle Hadees Maharashtra in
composing and proof reading the entire Marathi script that runs over
more than a thousand pages.
