Walī Swat, a great ruler at the regime of Swat, had a pivotal role in the development of local laws in Swat. To strengthen the control of the state on the citizen, he had issued various laws related to several aspects of life. Among these rules, of course, the rules related to the occasions of happiness and sadness. These rules were, indeed, binding in nature; meaning thereby violation of which would result severe punishments. It was claimed, at that time, that such rules are in line with the principles of Sharī‘ah (Islamic law) and, therefore, ideal to be followed. Some study, however, contradicts this by saying that such rules were made as per the prevailing custom of the region. Others explained, with solid evidence, that such laws were based on the principles of conventional law. The present research endeavors, with length, to investigate all such assertions. The predominant approach, in the present research work, however, is to investigate that whether such rules were in compliance with the principles of Islamic law. Owing to this, all such prevailing rules are critically analyzed in the light of the Holy Qurān and Sunnah of the Holy Prophet (SW). The work of classical Muslim jurists also cited for the same purpose, however, literature of the Hanafī School was followed more comparatively to others; as this was the formal school of thought in the region. Further, content analysis technique has been followed where the available secondary data has been critically analyzed.

This study aims to highlight translation errors that occur due to the way translators understand Quranic words. Some translators interpret these words automatically through a stereotypical lens, while others rely on the exegesis of the Quran to explain them. With this in mind, our research focuses on identifying the potential errors that arise when translators overlook polysemous words, which may lead to misleading translations. Based on this, our research examines how stereotypical errors impact the quality of translations of certain Quranic terms. The key finding of the study reveals that one of the main reasons translators commit stereotypical errors is their failure to rely on the linguistic interpretations of Quranic words. This, in turn, results in an English version of the Quran that significantly deviates from the original.

The Holy Quran is a message of civilization, a book of religion, and a way of life. A nation can only progress and live in harmony with other civilizations and nations by adhering to it. Otherwise, ignorance and backwardness will accompany it, along with the loss of its identity, the extinction of its civilization, and the loss of its religion.

The question that arises is the best methodology for dealing with the Quran. The methodology outlined by the Quran for dealing with it is the methodology of contemplating its verses.

Our esteemed interpreters from the early generations laid down various methodologies for dealing with the Quran through their contemplation, in light of the challenges of their times and regions. This enables us to benefit from the teachings and guidance of the Quran in the modern era. Contemplation of the Quran is an ongoing process, adapting to the needs of each era and society, to connect our nation to the strong bond of Allah and derive solutions for contemporary issues and face current challenges.

Therefore, the focus of this study is on some of the prominent contemporary interpreters through their books in Quranic studies and contemplation. These figures are: Abdul Rahman Habnaka al-Midani (died: 1978), Abu al-Hasan Ali al-Nadwi (died: 1999), and Taha Jaber al-Alwani (died: 2016).

The study aims to examine the proposed methodologies of contemplation among them and extract the key features.
