It took him 3 months to completely translate the Hanumaan Chalisha. Abid Alvi from Jaunpur, Uttar Pradesh, has translated the prayer musaddas style, which consists of six lines. “Like a chaupai has four lines, musaddas has three shers and six lines,”
The idea came to Abid when he was in Varanasi, and some foreigners asked people to recite the Hanuman Chalisa. He is planning more such translations and the Shiv Chalisa prayer is on his list right now. Being a student of Hindi, he will also be translating some Urdu works. He had translated the prayer with the view that it will help people from different communities in understanding each other’s culture and beliefs. He wishes that Urdu books should be converted to Hindi and vice versa, as it will bring about unity and love among the communities.
On whether he faced any opposition, Alvi said, "When I asked several persons whether there would be any problem in doing it they said Quran preaches to maintain communal harmony at any cost." He felt that though people read religious books, many do not understand its true meaning.
"My father used to make me understand the meaning of each and every word of holy Quran,"
