* ** Abstract In the Sub-Continent, Sir Syed Ahmad Khan (1817-1898) was the first exegete of the Quran who, due to Orientalistic and Western impact, adopted Modernity in the field of exegeses. He was followed by several Exegetes in this region. Amongst them a modernist Pakistani Exegete Mr. Ghulam Ahmad Pervaiz (1903-1985) is a well known figure. He adopted Sir Syed's Exegetical view point and expanded it in above mentioned perspective. Mr.Pervaiz is so much impressed by the Western writers. In most of the cases, accepting western thinking as standard of truth, he can be seen trying his best to harmonize Quranic concepts with the western thoughts. A reader of his Quranic Interpretations does not feel the Quran a very clear and evident book but ununderstandable to comman man . Pervaiz Sahib,s such strange interpretations made his exegetical writings invaluable and unacceptable to the scholars and researchers. Ulama (traditional scholars) had to reject him since his interpretations were attacking to the traditional Islamic concepts, he was rejected by the modernist alsos. Even if we set aside the rejection of Ulama and see according to the view point of modernism, he cannot succeed in the field of Islamic knowledge, as he hurt modernism also. * ** 1
