) According to Perwez's interpretation of the Qur'aan, Dunya means our present and the one who gathers possessions for himself is a disbeliever. 'Aakhirah' is to save and store provisions for the coming generations. The one who works for immediate gains and stores some provisions for the coming generations is a believer (Mumin). The selfless philanthropist however, who has dedicated himself totally to save for the future generations is condemned the utmost as a polytheist (Muskhrik) and Faithless! While the world honors such people, names streets and foundations after them and considers them role-models for the future generation, Ghulam Parwaz condemns them and finds them guilty of the worst crime - Shirk. c) It is apparent that Perwez's writing is, nothing more than a twisted materialist manifesto where he defines the Deen (religion) as the state, the hereafter as amassing possessions for the future, and the congregational prayer as a gathering for mutual consultation. 2) Farahi's principle of coherence and the result of not following it. Farahi was Amin Ahsan Islahi's mentor. His follower praises him saying, “For almost fifty years, Farahi reflected over the Qur'aan, which remained his chief interest and the focal point of all his writings. His greatest contribution in its study is his discovery of coherence in the Qur'aan… - 126 -
Farahi demonstrated to all the western critics that with a sound understanding of the Arabic language one can appreciate the coherence in the Qur'aan which is certainly not a haphazard collection of injunctions… Serious differences in the interpretation of the Qur'aan, which have given rise to the menace of religious sectarianism, are actually the result of disregarding thematic and structural coherence in the arrangement and mutual relationship of various Qur'anic verses and paragraphs. Each sect has adopted its interpretation because isolating a verse from its context can associate multiple meanings to it. It is only the coherence of the Qur'an, which if considered leads to a definite and integrated understanding of the Divine Message. It is only then that the Qur'an can be truly regarded as a Mizan (Balance of Justice) and a Furqan (Distinguisher of Good and Evil). It is only then that the Qur'anic verse, 'Hold fast to the Cable of Allah and be not divided.' (3:103), can become a manifest reality and the unity in the Muslim Ummah be achieved. Farahi went on to enunciate certain principles necessary to understand and interpret the Qur'aan. The foremost among them was the principle of coherence. He was able to show that unless the Qur'aan is understood through a holistic approach a lot of its treasure of wisdom remains hidden… Farahi had adopted a very direct method in his study of the Qur'aan and his findings were as original as his approach…" [Hamid Uddin Farahi <strong>by</strong> Shehzad Saleem.
