This project will enable a comparison of the text of the 1917 edition with the 1951 and 2010 editions. It will also assist researchers in establishing the influence of the Maulana’s work on the English translations undertaken by other Muslims translators that followed this 1917 Edition [Added: 10 Jul to 3 Aug]
