1. Field Testing the Communication of Divine Message The unique feature of this translation is its field testing for over 3 1/2 years to improve the communication and understanding of the Divine Message. Translation passages were given to the New Muslim and Non-Muslim high school and college students for reading under the supervision of various Ulema. After reading, the person was asked to explain as to what he/she understood from the passage. If his/her understanding was the same as is in the Arabic Text of the Holy Qur’an then we concluded that we have been successful in conveying the Divine Message properly. If his/her understanding was different than what the Qur’anic verses were stating, we kept on rewording the translation until those verses were understood properly. It was tremendous patience on part of the participants. May Allah reward them all.

2. Language Dictionaries During translation the following Arabic Urdu and Arabic English Dictionaries were used to arrive at the most accurate meanings: Vocabulary of the Holy Qur’an by Abdullah Abbas Nadwi. Lughatul Qur’an – Arabic & Urdu – by Abdul Karim Parekh. Elias Modern Dictionary – Arabic English – by Elias & Edward E. Elias. Mutalab-i-Qur’an by Yaqoob Sarosh. Lughat-ul Munjid – Arabic & Urdu – by A Group of Ten Ulema.
