Maani-ul-Quran Word for Word (Urdu) — by Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf

Maani-ul-Quran (Urdu: معاني القرآن لفظ به لفظ) is a word-for-word Urdu translation of the Holy Quran by Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf, published by Darussalam. It is designed to make the Quran's meanings directly accessible to Urdu-speaking readers — scholars, students and general readers alike — without requiring separate study of Arabic grammar.

About This Translation

Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf is also the translator behind Darussalam's Tafsir Ahsanul-Bayan commentary series, and brings the same grounding in classical Arabic grammar and linguistic precision to this word-for-word rendering. The aim is to let readers connect with the Quran's meaning beyond recitation alone — understanding each word as they read, rather than relying only on a flowing paraphrase translation.
