TafsireParvez

TafsireParvez refers to the Quranic exegesis produced by Allama Ghulam Parwez. Allama Parwez was a prominent Pakistani Islamic scholar and writer known for his modernistic approach to understanding the Quran. His tafsir, which he often referred to as "Mafhoom-ul-Quran" (Understanding of the Quran), aims to present the Quranic message in a way that is relevant to contemporary life, emphasizing its ethical and social dimensions.

Parwez’s methodology involved a critical examination of the Quran, often questioning traditional interpretations and the authority of hadith literature that he believed had been fabricated or misinterpreted over time. He advocated for a return to the Quran as the sole source of religious guidance, believing that its meaning could be understood through reason and direct textual analysis, without reliance on intermediaries. His interpretations often focused on the concept of "Meezan" (balance) and the Quran's call for justice and human welfare.

The TafsireParvez has been influential, particularly among intellectuals and those seeking a reformist understanding of Islam. However, it has also faced criticism from more traditional scholars who view his rejection of hadith as a departure from established Islamic tradition. Despite the controversy, his work continues to be studied and debated within Islamic intellectual circles, representing a significant effort to reinterpret the Quran for the modern era.
