Introduction Of Maulana Amir Hamza Nowshravi Shaheed And His Services In The Field Of Qur'an Interpretation A special study of his manuscript "The Exegetical Benefits of Maulana Sarfraz Khan Safdar "

Abstract

According to the teachings of the Prophet, "Scholars inherit the legacy of Prophets" until the Day of
Resurrection. Therefore, it is imperative to cultivate a community of genuine scholars who will dedicate
themselves to the reformation of beliefs, intellectual advancement of humanity, and the dissemination of
the knowledge passed down by the Prophets. This entails expending all physical energies, as since Prophet
Muhammad (peace be upon him) concluded the era of prophethood, the responsibility of preaching now
rests upon righteous scholars. These scholars have profoundly served the Ummah of Muhammad by
fulfilling their religious, societal, and national obligations with distinction, constituting a luminous and
illustrious chapter in Islamic history.
Among the illustrious figures in this lineage of knowledge, action, asceticism, and piety stands Sheikh Al-
Hadith Maulana Ameer Hamza Shaheed. Revered as a brilliant personality of his era, Maulana Shaheed
held a unique position due to his exceptional knowledge, dedicated actions, and devout character. This
paper meticulously explores his background and contributions, focusing on his manuscript titled "Maulana
Sarfaraz Khan Safdar's Exegetical Merits." The paper is structured into two segments: the initial section
presents an overview of Maulana Amir Hamza Shaheed, while the subsequent section conducts an in-depth
introductory and analytical examination of his manuscript "Tafsir Fawad," authored by Maulana Sarfraz
Khan Safdar.
The paper concludes by summarizing key findings, offering recommendations and suggestions, and
presenting references in the form of endnotes.
