India: Launch of the \u201cTafheem al-Quran\u201d App for Translating the Meanings of the Quran into Hindi<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a significant step toward promoting religious understanding and peaceful coexistence among India\u2019s diverse communities, the Islamic organization “Sahitya Foundation” in New Delhi has launched a new app called \u201cTafheem al-Quran.\u201d<\/strong> The app aims to translate the meanings of the Quran into the Hindi language.<\/p>\n

This initiative seeks to build bridges between the Indian public and Quranic texts while addressing widespread misconceptions about Islam among Hindus and Muslims.<\/p>\n

The app is based on the interpretation of the Quran by the Islamic thinker Abul A\u2019la Maududi,<\/strong> a prominent figure in modern Quranic research. The translation into Hindi was completed by Naseem Ghazi Al-Falahi.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Objectives of the Hindi Translation<\/h3>\n

Saadatullah Husaini,<\/strong> Director of the Sahitya Foundation, explained that translating the Quran into Hindi and launching the app serve two primary goals:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Conveying the complete message of the Quran to Hindi-speaking Muslims,<\/strong> enabling them to understand the Quran\u2019s objectives and messages clearly.<\/li>\n
  2. Allowing non-Muslims in India to understand the teachings of the Quran directly,<\/strong> helping them learn about its content beyond misconceptions that have fueled the rise of Islamophobia.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Printed Translation<\/h3>\n

    Husaini highlighted that the multi-language Quran translation project had been in development, noting that the Hindi translation of the Quran was completed in six volumes and officially launched through the app.<\/p>\n

    Efforts of Naseem Ghazi Al-Falahi<\/h3>\n

    Translator Naseem Ghazi Al-Falahi<\/strong> shared insights about the process, mentioning that he initially worked on translating Maulana Farooq\u2019s Urdu interpretation into Hindi under the title \u201cEasy Translation\u201d<\/strong> before undertaking the translation of Maududi\u2019s work.<\/p>\n

    The translation of \u201cTafheem al-Quran\u201d<\/strong> into Hindi spanned 12 years<\/strong>, with two years dedicated to each volume. Al-Falahi emphasized the importance of translating the Quran into Hindi as it is the most widely spoken language among both Muslims and Hindus in India.<\/p>\n

    Addressing Misconceptions<\/h3>\n

    Al-Falahi noted that the primary objective of the translation is to correct misconceptions that Hindus have about Islam and the Quran, as addressed by Maududi in his interpretation.<\/p>\n

    The app allows users to read the translation on computers and mobile devices and listen to audio explanations for a deeper understanding.<\/p>\n

    Advanced Features and Accessibility<\/h3>\n

    The app is available for free<\/strong> on Android and Apple platforms and features advanced search functions, enabling users to easily locate verses, pages, words, and their meanings.<\/p>\n

    Positive Impact<\/h3>\n

    Al-Falahi concluded by stating that they have received reports from various regions in India highlighting the app\u2019s impact. Many have benefited from the translation, gaining a clearer understanding of the Quran\u2019s meanings.<\/p>\n
