نو مسلم مستشرقین کے مطالعہ قرآن کا علمی جائزہ

A Scholarly Review of the Qur'an Studies by New Muslim Orientalists

Abstract

This study explores the intricate contributions of Orientalists and new Muslim Orientalists to Quranic studies, focusing on their translations and interpretations. It begins by defining Orientalism and tracing its evolution in academic and cultural contexts. Prominent figures such as M.M. Pickthall, Muhammad Asad, and T.B. Irving are discussed alongside their influential works like The Message of the Quran and The Noble Quran. The analysis extends to significant non-Muslim converts, their unique methodologies, and the broader implications of their works. The document critically evaluates how these efforts reflect their dedication to Quranic comprehension, addressing the nuances of translation, commentary, and cultural dissemination. Special emphasis is placed on the diversity of their linguistic, regional, and methodological approaches, which collectively contribute to a richer understanding of the Quran's universal message.
