Maulana Wahiduddin Khan
Maulana Wahiduddin Khan, born in 1925, is an Islamic spiritual scholar.
He has authored over 200 books on Islam, prophetic wisdom, spirituality and peaceful coexistence in a multi-ethnic society. His recent book The Prophet of Peace illuminates the Islamic view on modernity, secularism, democracy and freedom of speech.
Maulana's English translation of the Quran was reviewed thus by The Times of India: “Simple and direct, the book reaches out to a large audience.”
