AN ANALYTICAL STUDY OF DISTINCTIVE FEATURES AND SOURCES OF AL-TAḤRĪR WA AL-TANWĪR FĪ TAFSĪR AL-QURʾĀN AL-KARĪM BY ALLĀMAH IBN ʿĀSHŪR

Abstract

From the second to the fourteenth century(A.H), scholars possessing diverse intellectual, scientific, and research capabilities devoted themselves to the interpretation and explanation of the Holy Qur’an. Throughout these centuries, they continuously endeavored to extract precious insights from the vast and inexhaustible Ocean of the Qur’anic sciences. Despite their immense efforts, almost all exegetes humbly acknowledged their limitations, conceding that they were able to uncover only a small portion of its boundless treasures.

 One of the miraculous features of the Holy Qur’an lies in its enduring relevance, as its interpretation, translation, meanings, and modes of understanding have continually evolved in accordance with the needs and intellectual demands of each era, aided by advancements in knowledge and scholarly tools.

Allāmah Muḥammad Ṭāhir ibn Muḥammad ibn Muḥammad al-Ṭāhir ibn ʿĀshūr al-Tūnisī (d. 1393 AH), the author of Al-Taḥrīr wa al-Tanwīr, was born in Tunisia in 1879. He received his education at Jāmiʿah al-Zaytūnah, where he later emerged as a distinguished Islamic scholar. He served as the Grand Mufti of the Mālikī school of thought in Tunisia and held the position of Shaykh and mentor at Jāmiʿah al-Zaytūnah and its affiliated institutions. Subsequently, he also served as a judge.
