Background
The first of the eleven volumes was published in 1940 by Zia ul Islam Press, Qadian. Mirza Basheerud Deen Mahmood Ahmad was the second Head of the Ahmadiyya muslim community, which is one of the modern islamic reform movements. The author considered this commentary to be the next step ahead in Quranic studies. In the preface to the first volume, he writes that classical commentators like Ibne Kathir, Zamakhshari and Abu Hayyan did a great service for the Quran, but they made a few fundamental mistakes: Namely, they included unreliable narrations from unsound sources in their comments and they relied too much on Jewish literature. The author also believed that the idea of Abrogation has been of great detriment to the authenticity of Divine nature of Quran. He also suggests throughout the commentary the vital importance of the order in which chapters were arranged in the present form. The writer has given much importance to this aspect in his commentary, which was a novel approach at the time of its publication.

Features and Themes The commentary is written in the style of an argument for Islam. Repeated references and comments are made on the works of famous orientalists like Theodor Nöldeke, William Muir and William Montgomery Watt. The author has frequently dismissed the views of these writers in favour of more linguistic approach towards understanding the meanings of Quran. As compared to other classical texts, this commentary seems to rely less on "Asbab e Nuzool" or reasons of revelation of verses. This approach greatly reduces the impact and validity of negative remarks and allegations made on the Quran by non-muslim theologians. Wikipedia does not yet have an article with this exact name. ...
