	Khurram Murad (1932-1996) was an eminent intellectual and a distinctive leader of the Muslim World. Born on November 5 in Riya Bhopal, he learned to recite the Quran with Urdu translation from his mother. Thus, for Khurram Sahib, his mother was a teacher, a mentor and above all a teacher of the Qur'an. In 1953, he received his BA in Civil Engineering from NED Engineering College, Karachi and in 1958 MS from the University of Minnesota- all with greater academic distinction. During his stay in the United States, he engaged in a dialogue with the Christian missionaries on Islam and Christianity. Having attended churches and social events there, he delivered talks on Islam and Pakistan. During his studies, he actively took part in the social, convalescing and academic activities of the students.
			'''Khurram Murad''' (3 November 1932 – 19 December 1996) was a Pakistani scholar.

	== Career ==		== Career ==
	He worked as a lecturer in NED Engineering College from 1955 to 1957. As a notable engineer of the country, he rendered his services in East Pakistan as chief engineer and resident director of the then famous consultancy firm; Associate and Consulting Engineers (ACE). During his employment, he in addition to Pakistan provided his services to the major construction projects in Iran and Saudi Arabia. In this regard, he took part in the expansion project of Makkah.

	He performed valuable services for the restoration of democracy, public service and protection of basic human rights in Pakistan. Pursuing the same path, he first went through imprisonment in 1949 and then remained in India as a prisoner of war for two and a half years after the fall of East Pakistan in 1971.

	Mr Khurram Murad chose the difficult path of research and reflection instead of counting on the available information. After moving from Saudi Arabia to the United Kingdom, he served as the Director-General of The Islamic Foundation, a well-known scientific and research institution from 1977 to 1987. Analyzing the fundamentals of disagreement and consensus between the West and the Muslim World, he pointed out the path by which the Western World can choose to live in peace while the Muslim World too can opt for reverential life. He did a good job of liaising with Muslim organizations in Europe.

	He provided intellectual and scholarly assistance in the establishment of the Institute of Leadership and Management (ILM) to prepare a highly educated and skilled workforce and to meet the standard educational needs of ordinary students. Since then, the Institute after going through an evolutionary phase has now developed into the University of Management and Technology Lahore, which is expanding with every passing of a day.

	Khurram Murad was an engineer by profession. He figured out the message of the Qur'an from the early stage of his life, responded to its call and spent his whole life spreading this message and calling the servants of God towards it. Pakistan, Bangladesh, Iran, Saudi Arabia, the United Kingdom, the United States, wherever he lived, wherever he went, he prepared his audience to invest their lives, time, abilities, wealth and everything in the way of Allah and seek His pleasure and take the path to heaven. This is the path to success and ascension for Muslims. And to walk this path, connect with the Qur'an for which this book is a guide.

	Murad served as Naib Amir (Vice-President) of the [[Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan]] and Amir (President) in Bangladesh, a Trustee and a former Director General of the [[The Islamic Foundation\|Islamic Foundation]] in [[Leicester]], UK, and editor of Tarjumanal Qur'an, [[Lahore]], Pakistan (a journal founded by the Islamic scholar, [[Abul Ala Maududi]] in 1932), and the quarterly Muslim World Book Review, UK. He was also a prisoner of war for many years in the [[1971 Indo-Pakistani war]].		From 1975 to 1976, he was involved in the extension project of [[Masjid al-Haram]] in [[Mecca]] as he was a civil engineer by profession. During his time in NED he gained stature as a student leader and later served as Nazim-e-Ala of Islami Jamiat Talaba for session 1951–52.<ref>http://jamaat.org/ur/profile.php?id=1433</ref>

Even some booklets’ over 300,000 copies have been sold out. According to the broad concept of religion, Manshoorat is publishing every genre of literature related to every aspect of life.

	Under his supervision, besides several scientific research projects, more than 100 books were brought out. He has published 117 books in Urdu and 40 books and booklets in English.
