Abstract

Tazkeer Ul Quran is the combination of orthodox and modernist interpretation and has deeply influenced modern Islamic thought. It differs from traditional exegeses in several ways. It is more than a traditional commentary on the scripture as it contains discussions and debates regarding economics, sociology, history, and politics. In his text, Dr Waheed Ul din khan highlights Quranic perspective and argues that Islam provides ample guidance in all spheres. Dr Waheed Ul Din Khan uses the standard technique of providing an explanation of the Quranic verses from the Sunnah of Muhammed, including the historical reasons behind the verses. Tazkeer Ul Quran deals extensively with issues faced by the modern world in general and the Muslim community. And He did not believe in nationalism based on homeland, blood, language, or food, according to some customs of the Indian subcontinent, or the government, or other slogans that have no value to him. Rather, the concept of nationalism for him is based on religion. He felt that quite a few new scholars and intellectuals were influenced by his Dawah, so he directed his Dawah to them to establish the Islamic group.

For  the  past  few  centuries,  Muslims  have  been  engaged  in  efforts  to  revive  and implement  the  Islamic  system  around  the  world.  These revival and constructive efforts can be divided into several dimensions. One form of these revival efforts is to strive for the establishment of Islamic government, the implementation of the Islamic system, and the establishment of Islamic religion throughout the world.  Among many  others  Maulana  Wahiduddin  Khan  is  also  well-known  in  the  sub-continent due  to  his  thoughts  and  practical  efforts  regarding  Farizah  Iqamat  e  Deen.  His concern  regarding  the  obligation  of  Iqamah  Deen  is  different  from  other  Muslim thinkers of the subcontinent. This paper analyses his thoughts about Farizah Aqamat e Deen. According to him the meaning of Iqamat e Deen is not to establish the deen, but to preserve the established.  According to other thinkers, it means both to establish and keep the established.  For him the main purpose of Prophets is not to perform Farizah Aqamat e Deen. It’s not obligatory for Muslims to make efforts for the establishment of Islamic system in the whole world.
