Default Translation maulana yusuf kandahlawi's bayanes.


This is a request to get information on the translation of Ml Yusuf RA's bayanes, recently printed in India.

The request is to first contact the Mufti who compiled them and inquire on whether a translation in English and Arabic is being undertaken at the moment.

If it is not, the request is then for us to put our minds together to see how to make it happen.

What comes to my mind is the following:
1/ Urdu to English and Urdu to Arabic would have to be done separately.
2/ In both translations, it would be preferrable that a person well acquainted with the effort of Tabligh does the work.
3/ For English, Maulana Katani from South Africa comes to mind. Obviously, we would have to talk to him about it and see if he is able to spare time for it, or alternatively, if there is something that can be done to get his translation (for example, he could record it digitally and pass it on to us so we can transcribe it, and then give him the written translation for review etc...).
4/ For Arabic, I do not have anyone in mind; suggestions are requested. Again, I believe someone well acquainted with the effort should undertake it. The digital option may also be useful.
The reason I am suggesting digital is because writing and/or typing may require a lot of time that some people do not have due to their busy schedule with other equally important activities. Once the meaning is captured, we can make arrangements for someone else to transcribe the recording; the person transcribing can literally be anyone.

I guess these are my thoughts, and I am seeking the brothers/sisters opinions and efforts to make this happen. Ml Sa'd has been insisting for many years on the importance of the sayings of Ml Yusuf RA. There is no need for additional targheeb here; the only targheeb is the hadeeth of Nabee SAW.

لاَ تَحْتَقِرَنَّ مِنَ اْلمَعْرُوْفِ شَيْئاً وَلَوْ أَنْ تَلْقَى أَخاَكَ بِوَجْهِ طَلْقٍ (رواه مسلم)

Do not consider as insignificant the slightest good deed, even if it is only meeting your brother with a cheerful face. (Hadith Narrated by Muslim).

The first step is to see if something is already being done.

Brothers Maripat, Abu_Uzair, and AbuTamim are names that come to mind for starting to look into what is already being done.

We ask Allah for tawfeeq.
