Dr. Syed Abdul Latif (1891-1971), better known as the author of The Mind al-Quran builds, cherished the desire from his childhood to become a translator of Qur’an. After learning Arabic and Persian at home up to 12 years of age, the boy was admitted to a local high school, without his father’s knowledge. The ulema of the early twentieth century in India were fed up of fighting against introduction of English into the school syllabi.
