speak it fluently. However, we do not even know enough of the noble Quran to ensure that our prayer is valid.

Dear Islamic brothers! Not only should we get into the routine of reciting the holy Quran, but we should encourage our family, friends and other Muslims to recite it too. As well as reciting it, we should try to understand what it contains and what it requires us to do. To achieve this, it would be beneficial to recite the holy Quran with commentary.

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                                     صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Introduction to Tafsīr Ṣirāṭ al-Jinān, and its specialities

O devotees of Shaykh ꜤAbd al-Qādir al-Jīlānī رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه, an excellent way to understand the holy Quran is to recite three verses after Fajr prayer every day, along with their translation and commentary from Tafsīr Ṣirāṭ al-Jinān. اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه You will gain much Islamic knowledge by doing this.

Let us hear about some of the special features of Tafsīr Ṣirāṭ al-Jinān:

1.    Tafsīr Ṣirāṭ al-Jinān contains two Urdu translations: One by the Reviver of Islam, the Imām of Ahl al-Sunnah, Imām Aḥmad Razā Khān رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه known as Kanz al-Īmān, and the second is Kanz al-ꜤIrfān, which is effectively a simplified version of Kanz al-Īmān.

1.    This Quranic commentary is a blessing of Khazāˈin al-ꜤIrfān and Nūr al-ꜤIrfān. Khazāˈin al-ꜤIrfān was written by Mufti NaꜤīm al-Din al-Murādābādī رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه, the spiritual representative of Imām Aḥmad Razā Khān رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه, and Nūr al-ꜤIrfān was authored by his spiritual representative, Mufti Ahmad Yār Khān NaꜤīmī رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه.

2.    This commentary is neither lengthy nor too short.
