"Tazkirah", is the book commentary of Quran authored by Allama Mashriqi (He met Einstein in Germany), was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature.

*

“The First volume of ‘Tazkirah’ published in 1924 has four sections. The first which is in Arabic constitutes the author’s main theorem on the rise and fall of human societies, and a verdict on the fluctuating fortune of the world Muslim community. The three sections following the Arabic text are in Urdu and consist of a 132-page Preface, a 100-page Introduction, and 172-page text of the book proper. The Introduction deals with the Quranic version of the law of man’s evolution as a species and the collective conduct of human societies determining their ultimate destiny. The Preface which precedes it discusses the conflict between various religions — the distortion of the Message brought by the prophets, the tussle between Religion and Science, and the compelling necessity to resolve these conflicts before mankind becomes extinct through its own follies…

Even when analyzing the fate of human communities and man’s ultimate destiny, Mashriqi has looked on everything as a mathematician. It was as a mathematician that he discussed in 1926 the theme with Einstein on his return from Cairo via Germany, and tried to impress upon him to come out of the shell of a mere physicist. In his address to the mathematical society of Islamia College Peshawar in November 1928…he made a particular reference to it. He said, ‘If I have presented a book (Tazkirah Ed.) to the world that has no peer it is because of mathematics. If I had left mathematics and gone on to higher things it is through mathematics. If I have left studying mathematics and have seen a higher truth in the Koran its through mathematics. In fact, the first truth of the Koran dawned on me while I was busy day and night preparing for the Mathematics Tripos at Cambridge’.”


He presented Constitution of India in 1945, Allama Mashriqi began his struggle in British India in order to empower the poor and introduce a more authentic form of democracy that truly served the people. He led by example in this endeavor. Along with forming the Khaksar Tehrik (also known as the Khaksar Movement, Spade Movement or Belcha Party) in 1930, Mashriqi - who was a prominent, wealthy and highly educated Nobel Prize nominee (for his book Tazkirah) - shunned a life of luxury and instead chose to live amongst his fellow citizens. Even as he emerged as a powerful political leader, Mashriqi never sought to use his position to build his personal assets, neither did he allow his children to take advantage of his highly privileged position, nor did he use public funds to run his Khaksar Tehrik; rather, he followed the principle of self-reliance. In 1945, Mashriqi published "The Constitution of Free India, 1946 A.C.," which was a monumental document that sought to establish an India that respected and protected the rights of people from all classes, faiths, and colors. In the document, Mashriqi proposed establishing a Government structure whereby all people (regardless of class) would have representation:

“The other object, besides the simplification of the machinery of government that will naturally result, is to level up the society in India as far as possible, so that no distinction may remain between the rich and the poor, or the high and the low...In order to remove the oppression of the rich over the poor there shall be three classes of constituencies, class I for the very poor class of a community, class II for the middle class and class III for the very rich class, and no voter from any class shall be elected by the vote of the inferior class ” (The Constitution of Free India, 1946 A.C.).

  What does Iqra (اقرأ) mean? The first word revealed in the Quran is sometimes translated as "read" or "recite". In the English language, these two words can hold a broad scope of meanings with slight variations such as: Read: to understand the meaning of written symbols (not necessarily aloud) Recite: to verbally repeat from memory (read aloud) The word Iqra in the many verses seems to have a broad meaning which is (a command to the prophe ) to read and then proclaim it to the people by reciting it aloud. The word Iqra was also used metaprically in the sense of "accumulating something, distributing it, transferring it to other places". "For example, Qaraet'in-nâqatu was the name to the general incident of camels getting pregnant, carrying the baby in the womb,and giving birth to it. in addition, the same word is used for "bringing together letters, words, sentences or information and transmitting it to someone else". This is also why i...

 Surah Al-Isra Ayat 85 : Wa yas’aloonaka ‘anirrooh; qulir roohu min amri rabbee wa maaa ooteetum minal ‘ilmi illaa qaleelaa Sahih International And they ask you, [O Muhammad], about the soul. Say, “The soul is of the affair of my Lord. And mankind have not been given of knowledge except a little.” The Hadith of Safeena is a hadith that uses the example of a boat to teach that people should prevent corruption and evil in society. The hadith compares society to a boat, where the lower deck passengers want to make a hole in the boat that will cause it to sink. The hadith states that if the upper deck passengers do not stop the lower deck passengers from making the hole, then everyone will be punished by Allah.  The hadith explains that the upper deck passengers should ensure that the lower deck passengers are well cared for and not troubled by them coming up to the upper deck for water. If the upper deck passengers leave the lower deck passengers to do what they want, then both p...

 One of the learned Islamic scholar Shaykh ibn Taymiyyah said: Three things are lies 1: tafseer (commentary of the Quran written with fake stories and wrong interpretations ) 2: Seerah  (also called al-maghazi- written with fake stories and history made as life of Rasool Allah SAW and his companions) 3. Ghuzwat (also called al-malahim - written with fake battles in Islam) "Allah has provided evidence (i.e. Isnad) establishing the authenticity or lack thereof of the narrations that are necessary in matters of the religion. It is well known that most of what was reported in aspects of Tafsir (commentaries on the Qur'an) is similar to narrations reporting Maghazi (or Seerah) and battles, promoting Imam Ahmad to state that three matters do not have Isnad: Tafsir, Mala'him (i.e. great battles), and Maghazi. This is because most of their narrations are of the Maraseel (without reliable companions or successor) type, such as narrations reported by Urwah Ibn az-Zubair, ash-Sha...
