Description :
Tafsir al-Jalalayn, meaning 'The Commentary of the Two Jalals' is
named after its two authors: Jalalu'd-Din al-Mahalli (1389-1459), who
wrote half of it, and his student, Jalalu'd-Din as-Suyuti (1445-1505),
one of the greatest Muslim scholars of all time, who completed it after
al-Mahalli's death.
For half a millennium
Tafsir al-Jalalayn has been considered
the essential first step in the study of the meanings of the Quran by
teachers and students throughout the Islamic world. Although it is
amongst the shortest and simplest of the complete commentaries, it is at
the same time both wide-ranging and profound.
Explained by:
Jalalu'd-din Muhammad ibn ahmad al-Mahalli (791-864/1389-1459) of
Cairo was a versatile, scholar who excelled in jurisprudence, theology,
grammar, rhetoric, and Qur'anic commentary. He was known for his
scrupulousness, fear of Allah, and fearlessness in upholding the truth.
Al-Mahalli was offered the highest judicial positions but refused them.
He taugh jurisprudence in the Mu'ayyadiyya and Barquqiyya madrassah's.
Abstinent and ascetic, he lived on what he earned by trade. His most
famous work is his Quranic commentary, Tafsir al-Jalalayn, which he
began halfway through the text with Surat al-Kahf, ending with an-Nas
and al-Fatiha.. Although he died before he could start the other half,
the work was completed by his student, Jalalu'd-Din as-Suyuti.
Al-Mahallis other books include commentaries on Jami' al-Jawami',
al-Burda, al-Manahij fi'l-fiqh, al-Waraqat fi'l-usul, Kitab al Jihad.
Abd al-Rahman ibn Kamal al-Din Abi Bakr ibn Muhammad ibn Sabiq al-Din, Jalal al-Din al-Misri al-Suyuti al-Shafi`i al-Ash`ari, also known as
Ibn al-Suyuti (849-911AH /1445-1505),
The
mujtahid Imam and renewer (
mujaddid) of the tenth
Islamic century, foremost hadith master, encyclopaedist, historian, and
biographer and probably one of the most prolific of all Islamic writers.
There are an enormous number of his essays and treatises preserved
today. A number of his writings concerned scientific topics or issues
related to natural science and food and regimen, amongst other things.
From Asyut in Egypt, he was among the most renowned and prolific Muslim
scholars of all time. He wrote more than 300 books, covering every
aspect of the Islamic sciences. He memorised the Noble Quran at the age
of eight, and then went on to study with more than 150 scholars. He
travelled extensively in his quest for knowledge to Damascus, Hijaz,
Yemen, India, Morocco, and the lands south of Morocco, as well as in
Egypt.
Al-Suyuti devoted his life to learning, teaching and writing. He was
noble, abstinent and self-sufficient, distancing himself from people of
rank and power and living on what he earned by teaching. Major writings
of al-Suyuti that remain widely used today include
al-Itqan, on the
Quranic sciences; and
Tafsir al-Jalalayn, which he completed when only
22.
