Version 2.1 (13 October 1999)
This index is a substantially expanded version of the index in the work
The Holy Quran, Arabic Text with English Translation and Commentary
by Maulana Muhammad Ali as found in its editions published since 1951.
It will be incorporated in the future edition of that work which has
been entirely retypeset in an improved design, and is expected to be
published in the year 2000. The publishers are making this index
available independently of that future edition because:
- It can also be used with the existing editions of the work.
- The references in it to verses of the Holy Quran can also be used
with any translation or with the Arabic text of the Quran.
Essential notes for using this index
To use this index with the existing edition of Maulana Muhammad Ali's
work, the following points must be noted:
- A new scheme for numbering the footnotes has been introduced, which
is quite simple to understand and use. A reference to a verse followed
by a letter such as a, b or c etc. indicates a footnote
in that verse, with a meaning the first footnote in that verse,
b meaning the second footnote, c meaning the third,
etc. For example:
20:85a
| refers to chapter 20, verse 85, first footnote in that verse.
|
2:51b
| refers to chapter 2, verse 51, second footnote in that verse.
|
20:29-34, 29a, 48a
| refers to chapter 20, verses 29 to 34, and also to verse 29,
first footnote, and verse 48, first footnote.
|
2:260, 260a
| refers to chapter 2, verse 260, and also the first footnote
to verse 260.
|
7:150, 151a
| refers to chapter 7, verse 150, and also the first footnote
to verse 151.
|
- Verse numbering in chapters 3, 6, and 4: The verse numbering
used in this Index for most of chapter 3 and chapter 6 differs
by 1 from that in the existing edition. This change was made to
bring our numbering into line with that used in most translations.
The details are as follows:
In chapter 3, verse 3 of the existing
edition is now treated as being two verses, 3 and 4. Therefore,
verses 4 to 199 of chapter 3 in the existing edition are numbered
as verses 5 to 200 in this Index. So when you see a reference in
this Index to a verse of chapter 3, from verse 5 to verse 200, subtract
1 from it to get the verse in the existing edition.
In chapter 6, verses 73 and 74 of the
existing edition are now treated as a single verse, 73. Therefore,
verses 75 to 166 of chapter 6 in the existing edition are numbered
as 74 to 165. So when you see a reference in this Index to a verse
of chapter 6, from verse 74 to verse 165, add
1 to it to get the verse in the existing edition.
In chapter 4, only the last 3 verses are
affected. Verses 173 and 174 of the existing edition are now treated
as a single verse 173. Therefore, the remaining verses (175 to 177)
are now numbered as 174 to 176.
- A reference such as ch. 19 intro. indicates the introductory note
of the specified chapter.
- In referring to notes which stretch over several paragraphs, an
indication such as "2nd" has been added to direct the reader to a
particular paragraph of the note.
- References to the 'Introduction' to the Holy Quran contained in
Maulana Muhammad Ali's work are given by page number, for example
p. I-26. However, these page numbers do not apply to the edition
currently in print; they reflect the page numbers of the Introduction
in the year 2000 edition (yet to be published).
- Transliteration: Transliteration marks (such as a line over
the letter a, etc.) have not been used in this version of the Index.
However, the left and right single apostrophes (` and ') are used
to denote the Arabic letters `ain and hamza respectively.
The reader's attention is drawn to the following headings of this Index
in which reference is made to certain important subjects as dealt with
in the Holy Qur'an: Allah, Civic Life, Human Soul, Intellectual Development,
Knowledge, Man, Morals, Muhammad, Muslims, Nature, Prayer, Qur'an, Revelation,
Science, State Polity and Women.
