The Meaning of the Qur'an is a fresh English rendering of Tafhim-ul-Qur’an, Maulana Syed Abu Ala Moududi’s monumental and masterly Urdu translation of the Qur’an and a selection of his commentary. The translator has undertaken the delicate and difficult task of rendering this work in English under the guidance of the Maulana himself. Here is a work with a difference, by a dedicated scholar of an entirely different sort. An immense wealth of profound understanding of the Qur’an is here, a vast treasure of knowledge and deep insight, and a valuable exposition of some social, political, economic and legal teachings of the Qur’an.
This comprehensive Tafsir answers contemporary questions, and makes the Qur’an fully relevant to the concerns of day, yet it loses nothing of its timelessness nor sacrifices any of the traditional understanding. It demonstrates the unity and coherence of the Qur’an by centring everything on its message, like gems hung on a single string.

The document recounts stories from the Quran about Bani Israel and lessons that can be learned from them. It describes how Allah provided water from a rock for the 12 tribes of Bani Israel when Musa struck the rock with his staff. However, Bani Israel later complained about the manna and salwa food Allah provided and demanded more variety, showing their lack of patience and gratitude. When warned about exchanging better provision for worse, they persisted, resulting in humiliation. The document stresses the importance of being grateful, patient, and content rather than greedy or arrogant. It emphasizes living for purposes higher than desires and using intellect to please Allah rather than indulging the self.

It discusses themes like the importance of Makkah, accountability for how money is earned and spent, distinguishing between good and evil, examples of obedient and disobedient people, the first revelations received by the Prophet Muhammad, and the significance of faith, righteous deeds, counsel, and steadfastness. Key events from the lives of prophets are also referenced. The document emphasizes preparing for the day of judgment and remembering Allah through worship and good character.
This document praises Allah as the perfect and worthy of praise. It discusses that praise is due to possessing good qualities and deeds. It defines praise as expressing admiration, respect, gratitude or approval for something good. It explains that forms of praise include hamd (glorification of Allah), takbeer (expressing Allah's greatness), tasbeeh (exalting Allah), and shukr (thanksgiving to Allah). Praise can be done through words, deeds, words and deeds, or with one's whole heart and soul in complete submission. The document argues that only Allah is perfectly worthy of absolute praise due to His perfect attributes existing beyond all limits of time, space, consistency, and dependence on others.
The document provides details for an upcoming Bible study on All Saints Day, including readings and commentary. The first reading from Revelation describes John's visions of angels, multitudes in heaven, and an elder explaining that these are those who survived great distress and washed their robes in the blood of the Lamb. The responsorial psalm expresses the longing of the saints to see God's face. The second reading from John emphasizes that believers are called God's children and will become like him when revealed. The Gospel reading lists the Beatitudes from Matthew, describing those who will be blessed.

The Meaning of the Qur'an is a fresh English rendering of Tafhim-ul-Qur’an, Maulana Syed Abu Ala Moududi’s monumental and masterly Urdu translation of the Qur’an and a selection of his commentary. The translator has undertaken the delicate and difficult task of rendering this work in English under the guidance of the Maulana himself. Here is a work with a difference, by a dedicated scholar of an entirely different sort. An immense wealth of profound understanding of the Qur’an is here, a vast treasure of knowledge and deep insight, and a valuable exposition of some social, political, economic and legal teachings of the Qur’an.
This comprehensive Tafsir answers contemporary questions, and makes the Qur’an fully relevant to the concerns of day, yet it loses nothing of its timelessness nor sacrifices any of the traditional understanding. It demonstrates the unity and coherence of the Qur’an by centring everything on its message, like gems hung on a single string.
This Tafsir is particularly suitable for Muslims with no direct access to the Arabic original.

The passage discusses the debate around whether it was Isaac or Ishmael that was offered as a sacrifice by Prophet Ibrahim, as mentioned in the Bible and Quran. It notes that the Quran makes it clear that all acts of worship, including sacrifices, are meant for Allah alone, not for show or to collect meat. Therefore the sacrifice must be done sincerely for Allah's sake alone in order to be accepted by God.
This document provides a summary of Surah Al-Qasas (The Narration) from the Quran. It recounts stories from the life of Moses and the Pharaoh. Key events include Moses being set adrift as a baby but saved, growing up and killing an Egyptian man, fleeing to Midian where he helped two women and married one of their daughters, receiving revelations from God telling him to return to Egypt with his brother Aaron to demand the freedom of the Israelites. The Pharaoh and Haman deny Moses' message and signs from God. God inflicts plagues on the Egyptians and drowns the Pharaoh and his army for their disbelief and oppression of the Israelites.

ViewShift: Hassle-free Dynamic Policy Enforcement for Every Data LakeWalaa Eldin Moustafa
Dynamic policy enforcement is becoming an increasingly important topic in today’s world where data privacy and compliance is a top priority for companies, individuals, and regulators alike. In these slides, we discuss how LinkedIn implements a powerful dynamic policy enforcement engine, called ViewShift, and integrates it within its data lake. We show the query engine architecture and how catalog implementations can automatically route table resolutions to compliance-enforcing SQL views. Such views have a set of very interesting properties: (1) They are auto-generated from declarative data annotations. (2) They respect user-level consent and preferences (3) They are context-aware, encoding a different set of transformations for different use cases (4) They are portable; while the SQL logic is only implemented in one SQL dialect, it is accessible in all engines.

1Kaf/20, Ha/5, Ya/10, ‘Ayn/70, Sad/90.133
2Mention of the mercy of your Rabb [Lord, the Cherisher, the Nurturer, the
Sustainer] to His servant Zachariah!
3Once upon a time, he called out his Rabb [Lord, the Cherisher, the Nurturer,
the Sustainer] in secret. 4-6He said: “O my Rabb [Lord, the Cherisher, the Nurturer,
the Sustainer]! Truly my bones have weakened and loosened and my head have
flamed up with so many grey hair. But never have I been unhappy in my prayers to
You. And I truly am worried about my successors, my relatives/my cousins. My wife
is infertile. Therefore, please bestow me from Yourself a wali [assistant, protector,
relative] who will inherit me and inherit the family of Yakub [Jacob]. O my Rabb
[Lord, the Cherisher, the Nurturer, the Sustainer]! Make him acceptable for
You/pleasing for all!”.
“7O Zachariah! Surely We hereby give you the tidings of a young man – whose
name is Yahya [John] -. That name have We given to none before.
8Zachariah said: “O my Rabb [Lord, the Cherisher, the Nurturer, the
Sustainer]! My wife is infertile and I am excessively old now, so how can I have a
boy?”.
9Allah said: “So will it be! Your Rabb [Lord, the Cherisher, the Nurturer, the
Sustainer] says, ‘he is easy for me. I have created you from nothing’”.
10Zachariah said: “O my Rabb [Lord, the Cherisher, the Nurturer, the
Sustainer]! Send me a sign”. Allah said: “Your sign is that you will not speak to
anyone for three nights although you are healthy”.
11Then, Zachariah came out of his praying room; his private chamber to his
people and gestured them to exonerate Allah from all deficiencies.
“12-15O Yahya [John]! Hold the Scripture tightly!” We gave him judgment,
passion and purity while he was still a child and he was verily surrendered himself
under guardianship of Allah. And he treated his mother and father very well. And he
was neither a tyrant nor disobedient. And peace [Salam] be upon him on the day he
was born, on the day he will die and on the day he will be resurrected!
(44/19; Mary/1-15)

16Relate to Mary in the Scripture! When she left her family/relatives and fled to
a place in the East.
17Then, she secluded herself from her family/relatives behind a curtain and We
sent her Our Soul/Divine Message134 and the Messenger who carried Our
Soul/Divine Message to her appeared as a perfectly built man.
18Mary said: “I indeed seek refuge in Rahman [Allah; The One Who is the
Most Merciful Towards His Creations on the Earth] from you. If you are under the
guardianship of Allah…”.
19The Messenger/Zachariah said: “I merely am a Messenger of Allah sent to
bestow you a pure boy”.
20Mary said: “How can I have a boy? No man has ever touched me. And I am
not an outlaw/unchaste person”.
21The Messenger said: “Thus will it be! Your Rabb says: ‘It is easy for me to
bestow a child without a father. Then We will make him evidence/sign from
Ourselves”. And thus it was made.
22Then Mary conceived the boy. And then she escaped to a far away place.
23Then labor pains forced her to lean on a date tree trunk. She said: “I wish I
had died before this and fell into oblivion”.
24-26Then the one who is below her; Zachariah called her: “Do not be sad, Your
Rabb [Lord, the Cherisher, the Nurturer, the Sustainer] made a stream flowing
beneath. Shake the date trunk towards yourself so that ripe, fresh dates will fall upon
you. Then eat and drink, and be glad. And if you see a man say: “I have vowed a fast
for Rahman [Allah; The One Who is Most Merciful Towards His Creations on the
Earth], so I will not speak to anyone today”.
27,28Thereafter, Mary carried her boy to her people. Her people said: “O Mary!
Truly, you have done a thing unseen. O sister of Aaron! Your father was not a bad
person and your mother was not an outlaw/unchaste person”.
29Them Mary pointed to him; the one who was below her during the childbirth;
Zachariah, and asked him to explain the situation. Zachariah swore by Mary that she
had borne the boy without committing adultery and ordered them to raise the boy at
the temple. They said: “How can we, chiefs of our people, speak to a child who has
not reached the puberty/How do chiefs speak to a child who has not reached the
puberty yet?”.
3. 3
34He is Jesus [Isa], son of Mary, about whom they have been disputing
according to the Truth, and who says: “30Surely, I am the servant of Allah. He has
given me the Scripture and made me a Prophet. 31He has rendered me blessed
wherever I am. He has burdened me with the liability to fulfill Salat [Support others
financially and spiritually; strive to enlighten the community] and Zaqat/tax as long
as I live. 32And He has made me kind to my mother. And He has not made me a
tyrant, an unhappy one. 33And peace be upon me, on the day I was born, on the day I
will die, and on the day I will be resurrected. 36And surely, Allah is my Rabb [Lord,
the Cherisher, the Nurturer, the Sustainer], and He is your Rabb [Lord, the
Cherisher, the Nurturer, the Sustainer] as well. Then, serve Him, it is the righteous
path”.135

Division: 110
35Allah begets no children. Exonerated is He. When He dominates something,
He just says “Be” and it will.
37Then contradicting groups from among them disputed. O woe to those
infidels, those who consciously deny the Divinity of Allah and the fact that He is
Rabb [Lord, the Cherisher, the Nurturer, the Sustainer] from the witnessing of that
great day!
38What they shall see and hear on the day they shall come to Us! But as for
those who do wrong by associating Us with others; who act against their own good;
they are in a blatant perversion today.
39And warn them of that great repentance day, when the command will be
fulfilled for they are sunk into ignorance and apathy and deny to believe!
40Surely, We inherit the Earth and the people living on it/We will stay when
they are gone. And they shall be returned only to Us.
(44/19; Maryam/35, 37-40)
Division: 111
41Relate to Abraham [Ibrahim] in the Scripture. Surely, he was a righteous
person, he was a prophet.
42-45Once he said to his father: “O dear father! Why do you worship those
which cannot hear, cannot see and cannot help you at all? O dear father! Surely, sent
to me the information that was not sent to you. Then, follow me so I can show you
the righteous path. O dear father! Do not worship Satan. No doubt that Satan rebelled
4. 4
against Rahman [Allah; The One Who is the Most Merciful Towards His Creations
on the Earth]. O dear father! Surely I fear that wrath of Rahman [Allah; The One
Who is Most Merciful Towards His Creations on the Earth] touches you and you
become a guiding companion, protector and helper for Satan”.
46His father said: “O Abraham! Do you turn away from my idols? If you do not
desist I will stone you to death. Now, go away from me for a long while!”.
47,48Abraham said: “Peace be upon you, I will supplicate from my Rabb [Lord,
the Cherisher, the Nurturer, the Sustainer] forgiveness for you. Surely, He is Ever-
Gracious to me. And I hereby turn away from you and those things you worship that
are inferior to Allah. And I will pray to my Rabb [Lord, the Cherisher, the Nurturer,
the Sustainer]. I hope that I will not be unhappy when I pray to my Rabb [Lord, the
Cherisher, the Nurturer, the Sustainer]”.
49Then, when Abraham got away from them and those things inferior to Me
which they worshipped, We bestowed them Isaac and Jacob. We made all of them
prophets.
50And We granted them of Our mercy. And We made them a great language of
righteousness.
(44/19; Maryam/41-50)
Division: 112
51And relate to Moses in the Scripture. Surely, he was purified. And he was a
Messenger, a Prophet.
52We called him from the side of the Mount [Sinai], the most auspicious and
brought him close to participate in a special conversation. 53And out of Our mercy,
We made his brother Aaron a Prophet for him.
54And relate to Ishmael in the Scripture. Surely, he was true to his words, he
was a Messenger, a Prophet. 55And he ordered his family/relatives the fulfillment of
Salat [Support others financially and spiritually; strive to enlighten the community]
and Zaqat/tax. And his Rabb [Lord, the Cherisher, the Nurturer, the Sustainer] was
pleased with him.
56And relate to Idris [Enoch] in the Scripture. Surely, he was a righteous
person, a Prophet. 57And We raised him to a divine place.
58So those were the prophets who We guided and chose from the descendants
of Adam, from those We carried with Noah, from the lineage of Abraham and Israel;
those who were prophets to whom Allah bestowed His Blessings. When the Ayat of
5. 5
Rahman [Allah; The One Who is the Most Merciful Towards His Creations on the
Earth] were recited to them, they prostrated, crying and surrendering.
(44/19; Maryam/51-58)
Division: 113
59-61Followed them a generation so bad, they forgot/got away with Salat
[Support others financially and spiritually; strive to enlighten the community]. And
they followed their desires. Therefore, they all, except those of them who repented
and believed and did good deeds, will be punished for their transgression. Then those
of them who repented and believed and did good deeds will enter Jannah
[Heaven/Paradise]; to the Gardens of Eden which Rahman [Allah; The One Who is
the Most Merciful Towards His Creations on the Earth] promised to His servants –
even though they did not see – and they shall not be treated unjustly by any means.
Surely, His promise will certainly be fulfilled.
62There they shall not hear any vain talk. They shall only hear “Salam [health,
peace, happiness]!”. Blessings will be there abundant for them.
63This is Jannah [Heaven/Paradise] that We grant our servants who surrendered
themselves under the guardianship of Allah as Our heritage/effortlessly for them to
be its last owners.
(44/19; Maryam/59-63)
Division: 114
64And we, the Ayat of the Qur’an,136 descend only upon the command of Rabb
[Lord, the Cherisher, the Nurturer, the Sustainer]. All that which past and will come
and all that between them belong to Him. And your Rabb [Lord, the Cherisher, the
Nurturer, the Sustainer] does not forget. 65He is Rabb [Lord, the Cherisher, the
Nurturer, the Sustainer] of the Heavens, the Earth and all that lies between. Then,
worship Him and be patient when worshipping Him. Do you know anyone else who
has His names?

66And that human says: “Will I be resurrected when I die?”.
67And has that human not thought that We created him from nothing?
6. 6
68Therefore, by your Rabb [Lord, the Cherisher, the Nurturer, the Sustainer],
We will gather them and the devils. Then We will have them lined on their knees at
the outer edge of Jahannah [Hell]/gathering place.
69Then, We will surely separate from each group, those who were most harsh
in standing against Rahman [Allah; The One Who is the Most Merciful Towards His
Creations on the Earth].
70Then, indeed We know the best who deserves the most to be thrown into
there.
71And as a definitive judge that is assumed by your Rabb [Lord, the Cherisher,
the Nurturer, the Sustainer], none of you will evade to be gathered at the outer edge
of Jahannah [Hell]/gathering place.
72Thereafter, We will spare those who surrendered themselves under the
guardianship of Allah. As for those who did wrong by associating others with Allah;
who acted against their own good; We will gather them lined on their knees at the
outer edge of Jahannah [Hell]/gathering place.
(44/19; Maryam/66-72)
Division: 116
73And when Our Ayat were recited to them explicitly, those infidels; those who
consciously deny the Divinity of Allah and the fact that He is Rabb [Lord, the
Cherisher, the Nurturer, the Sustainer] said to the believers: “Which of these two
sides [the Believers and those who consciously deny the Divinity of Allah and the
fact that He is Rabb [Lord, the Cherisher, the Nurturer, the Sustainer]] is better in
position and status and better in terms of persons/organizations they interact?”.
74Yet before them We destroyed many generations/people who were much
better in wealth and glory.
75Say: “Whoever is in perversion, Rahman [Allah; The One Who is the Most
Merciful Towards His Creations on the Earth] will give them respite/a long time. At
the end, when they see what they have been promised [the agony or Qiyamat], they
shall know who is the best in position and who is weaker in military [in logistics and
power].
76And Allah increases His guidance for those who followed the righteous path
they were guided. And persistent corrective deeds are better by Allah in terms of
Sawab [reward; good deeds] and better in consequences.

77Then, have you ever seen/thought about the one who denies Our Ayat,
evidence/signs, the Divinity of Allah and the fact that He is Rabb [Lord, the
Cherisher, the Nurturer, the Sustainer] and who says: “Of course, wealth and children
will be granted”?”.
78-80Has that denier received information about the matters he would never
comprehend; or he has been given a word from Rahman [Allah; The One Who is the
Most Merciful Towards His Creations on the Earth]? Certainly not as he thinks! We
will write down what he says and prolong his punishment for what he has said. And
We inherit what he says/We will say the last word and do the last thing and he will
come to Us alone.
81And they adopted idols from those inferior to Allah as glory, honor and
power to themselves.
82Certainly not as they think! Those idols will not accept their servitude and
will turn away from them.
83Have you not seen/thought? Surely, We sent devils upon those infidels; those
who consciously denied the Divinity of Allah and the fact that He is Rabb [Lord, the
Cherisher, the Nurturer, the Sustainer]. They provoke them constantly.
(44/19; Maryam/77-83)
Division: 118
84Then do not haste to see their loss. Surely, We count for them their sins.
85On that day, We gather those who surrendered under the guardianship of
Allah going to Rahman [Allah; The One Who is the Most Merciful Towards His
Creations on the Earth] like mounted messengers presented to a king.
86And We drag the sinners to the Jahannah [Hell] torched with thirst.
87Except the one who received a guarantee from Rahman [Allah; The One Who
is the Most Merciful Towards His Creations on the Earth], - then such a guarantee
has never been granted to anyone - they shall not receive help-assistance.
88And they said: “Rahman [Allah; The One Who is the Most Merciful Towards
His Creations on the Earth] begot a child”.
89Surely, you have said an evil deed.
8. 8
90,91Almost the Heavens ruptured, the Earth cracked open and mountains
collapsed for they attributed a son to Rahman [Allah; The One Who is the Most
Merciful Towards His Creations on the Earth].
92Then, it does not befit Rahman [Allah; The One Who is the Most Merciful
Towards His Creations on the Earth] to beget a child. 93All who live in the Heavens
and on the Earth will come to Rahman [Allah; The One Who is the Most Merciful
Towards His Creations on the Earth] as mere servants.
94Surely, Rahman surrounds them and keeps account of them, one by one.
95And on the Day of Qiyamat, all of them will come to Rahman [Allah; The One
Who is the Most Merciful Towards His Creations on the Earth] alone.
98And We destroyed many generations before them. Do you perceive any of
them? Or do you hear their breath?137
96Surely, as for those believers who have done corrective deeds; Rahman
[Allah; The One Who is the Most Merciful Towards His Creations on the Earth] will
give them love.
97Surely We have made the Qur’an easy in your own language so that you can
bring good tidings to those who have surrendered themselves under the guardianship
of Allah and warn those people who resist in denial.

135 Certain passages of the Ayat contained in the Official Mushaf, which relate about
Jesus, are arranged erroneously either due to carelessness or intentionally. As a consequence of this
arrangement, Jesus has become a non-human-superhuman entity; he was depicted as if he spoke
while he was still in cradle, levitated to the Heavens and the belief that he would descend from the
Heavens was established.
All these are the consequence of reassignment of sentences contained in the passage and the
difference in the interpretation created this way.
Since, in the original formof the Ayah, the pronoun used for the person, to whomMary points,
is “him”, it is generally accepted that the “he” is “the baby Mary holds”. In our opinion, on the other
hand, “he” must be Zachariah, who was present at the meeting, knew everything about Mary,
instructed Mary when she was giving childbirth and he was the one “who stood below her” as
mentioned in 24th and 26th Ayat. Moreover, this is the actual meaning of the phrase contained in the
Surah Ali-Imran/37, “And He made Zachariah to testify for her [Mary]”.
9. 9
Also we have made our interpretation, considering it as the adjective formof the phrase “Jesus,
son of Mary” that is mentioned in the 34th Ayah of the Ayat that include words of Jesus, starting from
the recitation of the word mehd as mühd; and the term nukellimu as yukellimu; and the lack of “fa-i
taqibiyyah” (the relation of cause) at the beginning of the 30th Ayah. See Tabyeen-al-Qur’an for
further information.

aspects.
