This short and straightforward interpretation of the Holy Quran by Fayez bin Sayaf Al-Sareeh. received acclaim from Sheikh Mutaal Al-Jasser and Sheikh Ahmed Al-Qaaimi and various scholars. It is in fact a summary of more than thirty tafseers, all mentioned in the introduction. In his approach the author presents each verse and immediately offers a short interpretation on which he relies on the most accurate opinions of interpreters, summarizing their perspectives very briefly without delving into differences and marginal debates. This makes this book particulary suitable for beginners in tafseer.

The Supreme Court of Pakistan opined that, since in the year 2019 the distribution/dissemination of a proscribed book was not an offence, the petitioner could not have been charged for it. And as regards the offences under sections 298-C and 295-B of the PPC for which the petitioner is also charged his learned counsel submits that neither the FIR nor the police report (challan), submitted after investigation by the police, allege that the petitioner had done any of the acts mentioned therein to constitute these offences.
It was further observed by the SC, that the FIR would not have been registered in respect of the abovementioned offences, had the State authorities taken proper view of the matter. Therefore, Criminal Petition for Leave to Appeal No. 1054-L of 2023 was converted into an appeal and allowed by setting aside the impugned order and by deleting section 7 read with section 9 of the Punjab Holy Quran (Printing and Recording) Act, 2011 and section 298-C and 295-B of the PPC from the Charge framed against the petitioner.

This Act was promulgated in the year, 2011 and was amended in the year, 2021. The charge mentioned in the FIR was already an offence and its sentence was increased through amendment. As the book is being circulated in the market and the public, therefore, offence is continued and does fall in the amended Act, 2021 even. That prohibited book was liable to be banned and its copies to be collected from the market.
"non-Muslim" means a person who is not a Muslim and includes a person belonging to the Christian, Hindu, Sikh, Budhist or Parsi community, a person of the Quadiani group or the Lahori group (who call themselves 'Ahmadis' or by any other name), or a Bahai, and a person belonging to any of the scheduled castes.
The quotations from Holy Quran and the provisions of the Constitution referred to in the judgment, are misfit, misquoted and derailed from the Constitution, Law and Islam, hence the judgment regarding this aspect of the case is redundant and unlawful.
It was simple case of bail, which can only be granted technically and legally by the August Court, but divulging into other unnecessary and irrelevant subjects were needless, fishy and tilted, which ought to be avoided by the honourable Court and rectified.
EXTREME CARE AND CAUTION; must be taken while judging the religious issues and that of Muslim beliefs. There must be at least two Shariah/Faqeeh Judges in the Bench of three judges while taking any question of religion or of Muslim belief. Surely the honourable Judges are learned but to be a Faqeeh is additional edge. As to err is human and to repent is admirable. Hence, the Supreme Court of Pakistan, exercising its powers should have itself review the judgment and preferably to delete all irrelevant contents and debate, and must pass a simple order of bail.
These quotations mentioned here in this judgment are misfit and mis-quoted. Restriction is upon forced entry into Islam, whereas Qadianis are neither forced to enter in Islam nor they are true followers of Islam and last Prophet of Allah rather defy the same and infringe the rights and sentiments of the Muslims. In the present case a person of Qadiani group, was distributing the prohibited book and altered tafseer, thereby causing damage and loss to the religious feelings and beliefs of Muslims and injuring the same.
As the proscribed book was allegedly being spread and distributed by the accused, hence the distributed book is flourishing, propagating their religious belief and transferring from hand to hand and causing continuity of offence in the Muslim society, hence the offence is still carried on and perpetrated by the said offender and he is thus liable to be penalized under the law of the land. The alleged book must be banned and its circulated copies must be collected and estopped further spread.
Similarly, the Supreme Court has also quoted Article 22 by deleting some of its important portion, therefore, for fair commentary and analysis I would like to mention the provisions of Article 22 of the Constitution,
No person attending any educational institution shall be required to receive religious instruction, or take part in any religious ceremony, or attend religious worship, if such instruction, ceremony or worship relates to a religion other than his own.
no religious community or denomination shall be prevented from providing religious instruction for pupils of that community or denomination in any educational institution maintained wholly by that community or denomination; and
It can easily be visualized that the Constitutional provisions cited above, referred to and based by the honourable Supreme Court of Pakistan are mistaken, partial and misconceived. These Constitutional provisions are Subject to law, public order and morality, and similarly the provisions of Article 22 are, Subject to law,
