Answer:

Six volume Maududi translation

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is no one (no idol, no person, no grave, no prophet, no imam, no dai, nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

Your Comment: May Allah bless you and all the brothers and sisters of this forum with the best of both the worlds and save us all from the torment of the hell fire.

May Allah Subhanah reward you with the best of this world and the Hereafter for your kind comments of encouragement for our humble efforts in the propagation of the Truth. If our humble and modest efforts have helped even one brother or sister get closer to Allah and His Deen of Truth, then we would consider ourselves indeed fortunate to have been given this opportunity by the Lord Most Merciful to serve in His Cause. We hope, beg, and pray the Merciful Lord accepts our humble and weak efforts, forgives us our shortcomings, and saves you, us, and all the believers from the torment of the Hell Fire. Ameen.

Dear and Beloved Sister in Islam, to the best of our knowledge we don’t know of any site or work done whereby the six-volumes of the English version of the ‘Meaning of the Quran’ by Brother Shaikh Syed Abul Aala Maududi is available in an ‘on-line’ version. Allah is my witness, I don’t know of any other scholar and writer in Islam of the 20^th century whose works Allah Subhanah has blessed to reach the hearts of the believers in a way the works of Shaikh Syed Abul Aala Maududi has reached. May Allah Subhanah bless and reward Brother Syed Abul Aala Maududi for the service he rendered in the Noble Cause of Allah Subhanah, and grant him an elevated status in the Hereafter. Ameen.

Beloved Sister in Islam, if you wish to get a print version of the six-volume translation of the Glorious Quran by Shaikh Syed Abul Aala Maududi, you could get it on-line, or from any good Islamic Bookstore, or by writing to Islamic Publications (Pvt.) Ltd., 13-E Shahalam Market, Lahore, Pakistan. If you have any difficulty in sourcing these books, you may write back to us with your mailing address, and it would be an honor for us to mail them to you.

May Allah Subhanah increase your quest for learning the Blessed Knowledge of Truth from the Glorious Quran. Ameen.

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

Your Brother in Islam,

Burhan
