Tafsir al-Qurtubi Vol. 6

<p>The <em>tafsīr</em> of al-Qurṭubī is perhaps one of the most compendious of them all and is certainly among the most famous. As its title <em>al-Jāmi' li Aḥkām al-Qur'ān</em> - The General Judgments of the Qur'an suggests its main focus is on the rulings and judgments to be found in the Qur'ān. However in the course of doing that al-Qurṭubī examines all the relevant sciences necessary such as the <em>ḥadīth</em> pertaining to the <em>āyahs</em> events in the <em>sīrah </em>what the Companions their Followers and other noted people of knowledge said about the <em>āyahs</em> essential aspects of Arabic etymology syntax and usage copiously illustrated by examples and much more.</p><p><br></p><p class=ql-align-justify>This volume covers Sūrat al-Mā'idah in its entirety. Among its subjects are the <em>āyāt</em>s on dietary matters. The <em>sūrah</em> also recounts the primordial event of the two sons of Adam and their strife. Perhaps the most substantial section is a sustained address to the People of the Book while also considering many issues to do with Muslims' relations with them. Then there is the great <em>āyat</em> announcing the completion of the <em>dīn</em>. The sūrah concludes with the account of the Prophet 'Īsā peace be upon him and his disciples and of the Table sent down from Heaven.</p><p><br></p>
