مفاتیح الغیب (تفسیر کبیر )للرازی کے اردو تراجم کا تقابلی مطالعہ

Abstract

From the early period of Islam to this day, thousands of scholars and
interpreters have written the Tafasir for the exposition of the holy
Quran. "Mafatih ul Ghaib" also known as "Tafseer Kabir" is one of
them which is written by Muhammad Bin Umar Al Razi, the leader
of interpreters. In the style of expressing and the good arrangement,
this Tafseer is a distinct to his contemporary and subsequent written
Tafaseer. In this Tafseer, islamic Beliefs and commandments are
explained with narrative as well as logical arguments. This holds
the position of being an origin and source for all the Tafaseer written
afterwards. Hardly, there would be a book written on the pattern of
Ahlus Sunnah and still not referred to Tafsir Kabir. In light of its
significance, many writers and researchers from the Indian
subcontinent have attempted to translate this commentary for
Urdu-speaking audiences. As a result of these efforts, translations
like "Safar-e-Sagheer", "Tafseer-e-Kabeer Kaamil", and
"Fazl-e-Qadeer" have emerged. Additionally, several doctoral
theses have been written on this subject in various universities in
Pakistan. The present paper not only introduces Imam Razi and
"Tafsir Kabeer" but also provides a comparative study of various
translations of this important work, highlighting the distinct
features of each translation
