In his text, Maududi highlights Quranic perspective and argues that Islam provides ample guidance in all spheres. It is more than a traditional commentary on the scripture as it contains discussions and debates regarding economics, sociology, history, and politics.

It differs from traditional exegeses in several ways. Tafhim-ul-Quran is a combination of orthodox and modernist interpretation and has deeply influenced modern Islamic thought. Tafhim is derived from the Arabic word fahm which means "understanding". Maududi began writing the book in 1942 and completed it in 1972.

An-Nasa'i also recorded it.Tafhim-ul-Quran ( Urdu: تفہيم القرآن, romanized: Tafheem-ul-Quran, lit.'Towards Understanding the Qur'an') is a 6-volume translation and commentary of the Qur'an by the Pakistani Islamist ideologue and activist Syed Abul Ala Maududi. And whatever impermissible matters you find in it, then consider (treat) them impermissible.''' Al-Hakim said, "It is Sahih according to the criteria of the Two Shaykhs and they did not record it. Therefore, whatever permissible matters you find in it, then consider (treat) them permissible. (When there comes the help of Allah and the Conquest,) Al-Hakim collected a narration similar to that of At-Tirmidhi in his Mustadrak, and he said, "It is Sahih according to the criteria of the Two Shaykhs and they did not record it.'' Al-Hakim narrated that Jubayr bin Nufayr said, "I performed Hajj once and visited `A'ishah and she said to me, `O Jubayr! Do you read (or memorize) Al-Ma'idah ' I answered `Yes.' She said, `It was the last Surah to be revealed.
