This study presents a critical edition and analytical examination of al-Qawl al-Zahir fi Awwal
Fatir by the eminent Hanafi exegete Hasan Jalabi ibn Ali al-Hamidi al-Rumi, known as Ibn al-Hannai (d. 1012 AH). The work belongs to the genre of concise exegetical treatises that reflect Muslim
scholars’ sustained engagement with Quranic interpretation, particularly in subtle theological and
linguistic issues. The significance of this research lies in highlighting a model of partial Quranic exegesis that integrates tafsir, Arabic linguistics, and jurisprudence, as well as in reviving an unedited
manuscript that has not previously received independent scholarly attention, thereby contributing to
the preservation and accessibility of the exegetical heritage for contemporary researchers.
The study aims to establish a reliable critical edition of the text based on its manuscript sources
and to analyze the author’s exegetical methodology in interpreting the opening verses of Surat Fatir.
It also seeks to elucidate the author’s scholarly standing, sources, and interpretive positions in light
of classical exegetical discourse. The research adopts a descriptive analytical approach in the study
section and follows established principles of textual criticism in the preparation of the edited text.
Among the most prominent findings reached by the study are: he author presents important contributions, including a critique of explaining figurative meaning through necessary relations, preferring the interpretation of fatr as literal creation rather than metaphorical, and a rare investigation of
annexation in the active participle in works of Qurʾanic exegesis. The study concludes that the work
is a critical note rather than a marginal gloss, due to its emphasis on discussion and evaluation, its
reliance on multiple sources, its expansion of issues to their grammatical and rhetorical foundations,
and its strong critical additions marked by precision and clarity in distinguishing concepts and gathering dispersed scholarly views into a single discussion

This research addresses a crucial aspect of contemporary human
life. The world is grappling with numerous interconnected and complex crises, including the excessive use and depletion of natural resources. A widening gap exists between human needs and limited resources, coupled with an inability to control consumption and a waste
of resources. This has created a profound imbalance in the relationship
between humanity and the environment. In contrast, Islamic ethical
thought offers a comprehensive framework for addressing these crises,
finding solutions, regulating excessive consumer behavior, and conserving resources.

The research dealt with the problem of the Holy Quran in Surat Al-Ma’idah in
Al-Razi’s interpretation of Mafatih Al-Ghayb, and what Al-Razi mentioned about
the problem in the meaning of the Almighty’s saying and his method in removing
the problem, and the most important statements of scholars on it, then explaining
the most correct statement on it, which is: that the religion was completed with
its rulings, obligations, and Sunnahs and they were guided to Hajj, which was the
only pillar of religion left for them, so they performed Hajj; thus the religion was
gathered for them in performing its pillars and fulfilling its obligations. Then he
mentioned the problem of the Qur’anic readings in the Almighty’s saying: “And
what effect it has in directing the readings to clarify the meaning of the verse and
his method in removing the problem by mentioning the chain of transmission of
the reading. We have concluded that the two readings are correct; this is because
they are transmitted by the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and if the
reading is proven by transmission, it is not due to Arabic analogy or the spread
of language; because the reading is a followed Sunnah that must be accepted and
adhered to.

The primary objective of this research is to elucidate the concept of “Da’wah Evaluation” (Taqweem) and to establish its legitimacy based on the Holy Quran and the Sunnah.
Regarding the specific objectives, the study seeks to explore evaluation methodologies
and objectives (Maqasid) by analyzing relevant Quranic verses and Prophetic traditions.
It demonstrates that these objectives encompass Creed (Aqidah), Sharia, and Ethics (Akhlaq), highlighting the evaluative evidence and indications within them.
Furthermore, the research outlines the foundations of evaluation, identifying eight
specific scales used for evaluation purposes, along with seven crucial controls governing
the evaluation process. Finally, the study highlights the benefits of evaluation as deduced
by Al-Rashid, particularly its pivotal role in reform (Islah) and education (Tarbiyah), as
well as the establishment of justice to eliminate injustice. Thus, this abstract provides a
comprehensive description of the «Foundations of Da’wah Evaluation according to Muhammad Ahmad Al-Rashid«

All praise is due to Allah, and may peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of
Allah, his family, companions, and those who follow him.
The book Al-Burhan fi Ulum al-Qurʾan (The Proof in the Sciences of the Qur’an)
is considered one of the finest works in the field of Qur’anic sciences. I have chosen
this book as the subject of my research due to its inclusion of unique and significant
scholarly insights. These insights address precise and intricate issues that require
deep reflection to fully comprehend and extract their implications.
Some of these insights have been the focus of this study, as indicated by the title.
This research is derived from my doctoral dissertation, which examined all of the
insights presented by al-Zarkashi in his book. Specifically, I selected three insights
from the twentieth type of Qur’anic sciences discussed in Al-Burhan, which deals
with the relationship between tafsir (exegesis) and iʿrab (grammatical analysis).
The aim of this study is to highlight the exegetical value of these insights by
comparing them with the statements of other scholars and by clarifying them using
simpler language for better understanding.
This research adopts an inductive-analytical approach, wherein I first surveyed
these insights, then analyzed and discussed them in detail.

This research addresses the life of Ismail al-Dharee' (may God have
mercy on him) and some of the jurisprudential preferences he mentioned
in his interpretation, “Al-Kifaya fi al-Tafsir.” His interpretations varied in
their preferences for Qur'anic sciences, such as the readings, Meccan and
Medinan verses, abrogating and abrogated verses, and others, as well as jurisprudential, linguistic, and doctrinal issues. Three issues are discussed in
this research: the first concerns the punishment for adultery while a virgin is
engaged in adultery; the second concerns the ruling on a man writing to his
slave; and the third concerns the period of puberty. For each issue, I discuss
the opinions of scholars, highlighting the most preponderant view based on
the strength of the evidence. At the end of the research, I conclude by presenting the most important findings.

This research means an inductive and analytical study of the poetic verses adopted by Imam Burhan al-Din al-Nasafi, and complements its importance in the study of
these poetic verses, which were mentioned in an interpretation that we did not have
the moment of resurrection and excavation.
And I took Surat Al-Nahl as a model for that, and I followed in this research the
method adopted in scientific research. The important interpretations that have been
transferred to many sciences, including poetry

This research presents the investigation of the story of Moses, peace be upon
him, in Surat An-Naml from the interpretation of Kashf Al-Haqa’iq by Burhan
Al-Din Al-Nasafi, who died in the year (687 AH), may God Almighty have mercy on him. This interpretation is considered one of the valuable and precious
interpretations, as it is distinguished by its brevity in expression and clarity of
meaning, while taking into consideration conveying the idea directly, and its
inclusion of some stories and news related to the verses, especially the stories of
the prophets and previous nations, for evidence and a lesson.

The study of problematic and ambiguous verses is of paramount importance, as it
is one of the greatest means of defending the Holy Quran, demonstrating its greatness,
calling people to it, and demonstrating a type of scholarly struggle in defense of the Holy
Quran, as Ibn Qutaybah did in (Interpretation of the Problematic Verses of the Quran).
Studying problematic verses reveals the perfection of the Holy Quran, its rules and perfection, and its freedom from contradiction and inconsistency. It also reveals an aspect of
its miraculous nature.
Fakhr al-Din al-Razi (may Allah have mercy on him) was considered unique in this
art of his time. He was a master of understanding, with a strong argument, a highly persuasive mind, and a wealth of knowledge. Therefore, he devoted considerable time to
responding to problematic verses in his great commentary, Mafatih al-Ghayb. This is not
hidden from scholars in general, and commentators in particular. He distinguished himself from other commentaries by the multitude of his issues and the excellence of his style
in guiding and organizing them.

In this research, I discussed some of the life of Imam Al-Qushayri,
along with some of his jurisprudential preferences in the issues of the
limits in Surat Al-Ma’idah, through his book Ahkam Al-Qur’an, in
terms of collecting the sayings of the scholars and the evidence they
relied on and clarifying the preferred saying in it through the strength
of the evidence and its validity.

The research concerns the study of verses from the Surah of Alnoor, an explanatory
study, from Ayah (47) to any (54). It is contained in the introduction, preface, three investigations and a conclusion, which included the life of Burhan in terms of his name,
dome, elders and death, and the second research: proof of the book’s name to the author, description of the written copies, and whereabouts, third research: verbal

The research deals with the jurisprudence of the verses of the judgements of
Imam Ibn Hazm Al-Andalus in hunting matters, through his book (Al-Muhalla
with antiquities) - the book of hunting - in terms of collecting the sayings of jurists and the evidence that they deduced and explaining the prevailing through
the strength of the evidence and the interest sent, and from that it is permissible
to eat what was hurt by the teacher if the conditions are met, and it is forbidden
to eat hunting if the teacher eats from it, but if eating it is easy and rare, it is not
forbidden to combine evidence, and it is permissible to hunt with the prector
taught by a non-Muslim, in agreement with the choice of Imam Ibn Hazm -
may God have mercy on him-

This research addresses a Qur’anic exegetical issue in which multiple interpretations
were presented by scholars, focusing on the methodology of tarjīḥ (preference) adopted
by the exegete under study. The paper defines the concept of tarjīḥ and highlights its
significance in Qur’anic exegesis, particularly in selecting the most accurate meanings
and rulings derived from the Qur’anic text. The study surveys the various scholarly
opinions on the issue, collecting them from classical works of tafsīr, and analyzes their
evidences according to established scholarly principles, identifying points of strength
and weakness. A comparative analysis is then conducted between the exegete’s preference and the views of other scholars, revealing the extent of agreement or divergence
and the scholarly reasoning behind it. The study concludes that the preference examined
is grounded in strong linguistic and legal foundations, reflecting the exegete’s profound knowledge in both Sharī‘ah and language. This work is significant as it provides
a practical model for addressing multiple interpretations and demonstrates the impact
of exegetical preferences on enriching Qur’anic understanding.

I discussed the questions that Al-Raghib raised in his interpretation of Surat Al-Fatihah, which are the questions that arise from some verses, such as: How did he say
such-and-such when he said something else that contradicts it? Why did he say suchand-such and not such-and-such? This creates a problem that needs to be resolved. I
collected them and mentioned Al-Raghib’s answer to them, and I collected the answers
of the scholars who interpreted them, and I preferred what was shown to be preferred
from what agreed with the legal and rational evidence. I divided it into an introduction
and two sections: In the first section, he mentioned the definition of the questions and
an introduction to Al-Raghib Al-Asfahani. In the second section: his questions in Surat
Al-Fatihah, then a conclusion in which there is the most important thing that the researcher reached, and God knows best, and may God’s prayers and peace be upon our
Prophet Muhammad and all of his family and companions.

This research examines the juridical choices of Imam Al-Maturidi in matters
of personal status in Surah Al- Jumna. The focus of my research is on the choices
of Imam Al-Maturidi as reflected in his interpretations, which are based on the
interpretations of Ahl al-Sunnah, regarding personal status matters, specifically
divorce.

This research addresses the issue of imitation (taqlid) in the fundamentals of religion, as it is one of the doctrinal juristic issues over which scholars have disagreed,
due to its connection to the foundation of faith and the obligations of the accountable
person in matters of belief. The research aims to clarify the concept of imitation, to
indicate the point of dispute regarding it, and its relationship with the fundamentals of
religion, while presenting the scholars' opinions on the ruling of imitation in matters
of creed and their evidence. The research concluded with a distinction between those
capable of reasoning and deduction, and those who are not. The former must engage in
reasoning and follow the evidence, whereas it suffices for the layperson who is incapable to have general faith and to imitate the scholars in matters of belief. This is because
the intention behind preventing imitation in creed is not to obligate the general public
to know theology, but rather to achieve a firm foundation of faith according to one's
capacity and ability, in a manner that preserves belief and alleviates difficulty for the
accountable individuals.

This research presents an investigation of a portion of the interpretation (Kashf
al-Haqa'iq wa Sharh al-Daqa'iq fi Tafsir Kalam Allah al-Aziz) by Imam Burhan
al-Din, Abu al-Fada'il, Muhammad ibn Muhammad ibn Muhammad, known as
(al-Burhan al-Nasafi), who died in the year (687 AH) - may God Almighty have
mercy on him. This interpretation is considered one of the valuable and precious
works, as it is characterized by brevity of expression and clarity of meaning, with
a focus on conveying the idea directly, and its inclusion of some stories and news
related to the verses, especially the stories of the prophets and previous nations, for
evidence and lessons. This research addresses (the story of Qarun in Surat al-Qasas) in the interpretation “Kashf al-Haqa'iq wa Sharh al-Daqa'iq”.

This research paper aims to explore the theological and jurisprudential aspects
in Al-Raghib Al-Isfahani’s Qur’anic interpretation. It seeks to understand the question-and-answer method he employed, as well as the techniques of inquiry and interrogation in which he excelled in explaining and interpreting the verses of the Holy Qur’an.
The study also aims to identify the scientific tools and methods Al-Raghib Al-Isfahani
relied upon in presenting his scholarly approach in both creed and jurisprudence, by providing examples from his methodology in both areas. He incorporated various Islamic
sciences into his tafsir, including the principles of exegesis, Hadith and its sciences, theology, jurisprudence, linguistics, Qur’anic readings, grammar and morphology, rhetoric
and semantics, poetry and literature, behavior, and ethics. He demonstrated .

One of the most important ways to reach and spread the human self is through the
true path of Islam. The self is permanent and remains; it does not cease to exist or lose
its being even after death. The Qur’an is considered the highest level of human joy for
man, and his fullest reward is his gradual control over himself, a control guaranteed by
his submission to the commands of God Almighty.
The nature of modernity indicates a departure from the past; it is a destructive trend
that seeks to demolish established and permanent norms, attempting to create a new
conception of the universe and life, ultimately leading to the destruction of everything
related to religion, because it is a conception that contradicts Islam in all its aspects.
It is an uprising against established principles and ideas; it is a struggle and a loss
between essence and existence. It may confront deeply rooted and prevailing values and
destroy old principles, values, and beliefs.

The main aim of this study is to explain and clarify the Qur’anic concepts of justice
and equality through an interpretive and analytical examination of the texts of the noble
Qur’anic verses dedicated to these principles. The study emphasizes their significant
role in the stability of societies and the promotion of love and solidarity among their
members. Islam’s strong emphasis on these two values is demonstrated through an exploration of Qur’anic texts. One of the most important conclusions reached is that life
cannot be balanced or justly organized without achieving justice and equality among
members of society, as these values permeate all aspects of life. Additionally, one key
outcome is the necessity of advocating for these principles in response to God’s command..
