Tafsir Ishraq Al-Ma'ani - Vol IV : Surah 12-20 [A Quintessence of Quranic Commentaries]

<p>With the revival of interest in Islam in our times the Qur’an is also being read increasingly especially by the intellectuals: Muslims and non-Muslims alike.</p><p>However and although its message and central theme have been stated in unambiguous terms its translation most of the times fails to impart the same meaning with the same effect.</p><p>Additionally <u>the Qur’an deals with every subject of human concern and gives guidelines for application to life and society</u>. This increases its scope widely and requires on the part of the reader's knowledge of various disciplines for proper appreciation of its message.<b>It is specially important to know how the Qur’an was understood by those who received it first: Prophet Muhammad (SAW) on whom be Allah’s peace and his immediate followers</b>. <b>Second in order of interest and importance would be to know how the scholars of Islam have understood it in every age</b>. The present work spread across 4681 pages and 8 Volumes endeavours in the main to provide this information. However it also presents useful notes variant notes variant opinions anecdotes and legal points – from Quran commentaries old and new.</p><h4>TAFSIR AUTHORS/BOOKS CITED (QUOTED)</h4><p><i>The following is the list of authors/books cited/quoted.</i></p><ul> <li><b>Al-Kabir</b>: Al-Tafsir Al-Kabir Tafsir notes of Imam ibn Taymiyyah(d.728 A.H) collected by Dr.'Abdul Rahman 'Umayrah.</li> <li><b>Alusi/Ruh</b>: Ruh al Ma'ani Fi Tafsir Qur'an al Azim Wa al Sab' al Mathani by shihab al Din Sayyid Mahmood Alusi(d.1291 A.H)</li> <li><b>Ibn Jarir/Tabari</b>: Jami' al Bayan Fi Tafsir al Qur'an by Ibn Jarir al-Tabari (d.310 A.H.).</li> <li><b>Ibn Kathir</b>: Tafsir al Qur'an al Azim by 'Imad al Din Abul Fida Isma'il ibn 'Amr ibn Kathir (d.774 A.H.).</li> <li><b>Ibn Qayyim</b>: Al-Tafsir Al-Qayyim by Shamsuddin Muhammad b.
