Urdu translation?
-
Peace all,
Just wondering if anyone knows of a good urdu translation of the reading in book form? Bought my mother the reformist one and she loved it but would prefer to read and digest it properly in her native tongue?
She also asked me to find out what people's opinions of Javed Ahmed Ghamdi are? I believe, from what she told me, that he has done an urdu translation in print, but are his views along the quranist/reformist lines?
Would be great if anyone has any info on the above requests or could point me in the right direction.
Peace

salam and welcome aboard,
There is hardly a good urdu translation that i have come across. After comparing many English translations, i find Shakir's translation, better.
He is very close to literal and has the least additions from his personnel views. As for as the reformists , i have not gone through it yet, but i hope that Mr Yuksel should have done a good job.Out of the Sunni scholars, Ghamdi is comparatively better than the rest, though his views are still distant than our understandings in this forum.
He is a sensible person and he does not annoy the sunnies by going too far out on a tangent. He talks, only what can be absorbed in a strictly hadeethist society, because a little more, and some bearded mullah may dish out a fatwa calling an end to his life , and that wouldn't be very difficult in the present scenario out here in Pakistan.peace
