Description :

Al-Fawz al-Kabir fi Usul at-Tafsir : The Great Victory on Qur'anic Hermeneutics; is a manual of the principles and subtleties of Qur’?nic tafs?r. In it the author outlines the five fundamental sciences that the Qur’?n contains: the science of judgements (ahk?m), reminding others of the Favours of Allah, the Days of Allah and the Life after Death, and giving particular attention to the science of polemics. He also reviews the other sciences of tafs?r such as the circumstances of revelation (asb?b an-nuz?l), abrogating and abrogated ?y?t (an-n?sikh wa’l-mans?kh) and the unusual words and phrases of the Qur’?n (ghar?’ib al-Qur’?n), before concluding the book by looking at the extraordinary and miraculous aspects of the Noble Book, and a final chapter on the meanings of the letters of the Arabic alphabet.

This important work is ideal for those who are studying the Qur'an or simply need a better and clearer understanding. Click on image below for sample page.

The Author : Qutb al-Din Ahmad ibn 'Abd al-Rahim, popularly known as Shah Wali'Ullah, was born in 1114AH / 1703CE near Delhi (Dehlawi), a member of a distinguished intellectual and religious family. He received a highly structured education and spiritual instruction at the madrassah established by his father, Shah 'Abd al-Rahim, at Delhi. As well as the Qur'an, he studied Arabic and Persian grammar and literature and the higher philosophical, theological, metaphysical, mystical and juridical texts. He graduated from the school when he was barely fifteen years old; in the same year, his father initiated him into the famous Naqshbandiya Sufi order.

Shah Wali-Ullah of Delhi, arguably the greatest Muslim scholar of eighteenth-century India, made an immense contribution to the intellectual, economic, social, political and religious life of the Muslim community in India, the effects of which persist to the present day.

Shah Wali-Ullah wrote in both Arabic and Persian. He published between fifty and seventy works, with his writings playing a major role in the intellectual and spiritual life of the Muslims in the Indo-Pakistan subcontinent, a role which continues today. Some of these works have greatly changed the Muslim approach to the study of the Qur'an.
