Hamiduddin Farahi Hamiduddin Farahi (18 November 1863– 11 November 1930) was a celebrated Islamic scholar of South Asia known for his groundbreaking work on the concept of "nazm", or coherence, in the Qur'an. He was instrumental in producing scholarly work on the theory that the verses of the Quran are interconnected in such a way that each surah, or chapter, of the Qu'ran forms a coherent structure, having its own central theme, which he called "umood". He also started writing his own exegesis, or "tafsir" of the Quran which was left incomplete on his death in 1930. The "muqaddimah", or introduction to this is an important work on the theory of "Nazm-ul-Quran".
