As the artificer of the most widely acclaimed translation of the Qur‘ān in Spanish, Dr Mulla always had a special relationship with this book as the quintessential learning tool. He held that books set us free and it is that relationship that is symbolised in the logo of our Foundation. One of the main objectives of the Dr Bahige Mulla Huech Foundation is to publicise both Dr Mulla’s works and other contributions that reflect his interests.
The ideology of Dr Mulla will inform our publishing list. Publications will be in various formats – books, leaflets, videos and a newsletter featuring a selection of commented current news items relating to Islam and the West. All these resources will be available free-of-charge in their digital version, and can also be ordered in printed form or other media.

Tafsir – Interpretation of the Qur‘ān
The Tafsir program, bradcasted by Cordoba International, with Dr. Mulla, had great impact as our Founder was a great connoisseur of the Qur‘ān, having published the best translation to date into spanish and his Dictionary of Islamic terms, and therefore no better than him to explain to spanish-speaking audiences. The Tafsir is the science of explanation and interpretation of the Qur‘ān. It arises after the death of Muhammad to help explain the message contained in the Noble Qur‘ān. Starting as mere personal speculation, Tafsir develops a system of methodical exegesis of the Qur‘ān, verse by verse and sometimes word for word. Early efforts relied on the hadith, afterwards more dogmatic types of Tafsir were developed. The most complete work was compiled by the medieval scholar al-Tabari. Some Muslim modernists have used tafsir as a means of reformist ideas.
