Description : 

Tafsir at-Tahrir wa at-Tanwir (Interpretation of Verification and Enlightenment) is a work of Qur'anic exegesis (Tafsir) by Shaykh Muhammad at-Tahir Ibn ‘Ashur, Shaykh of Az-Zaytouna University in Tunis.

Al-Tahrir wa at-Tanwir is one of the most important interpretations referred to by specialists. Through this book, the author was able to place himself among the most prominent scholars of the interpretation of the Qur’an, and this Tafsir is one of the most prominent interpretations of the modern era that was written in respect to the theory of systems according to Imam al-Jurjani.

About the Author : 

He is al-Shaykh Muhammad al-Tahir ibn 'Ashur, rahmatullahi ta'ala 'alayhi, (1879 -1973). He was an eminent figure in the institution of the Tunisian scholars for most of the twentieth century. He is also highly regarded as a Muslim reformist and his Qur’anic tafsir al-Tahrir wal Tanwir, is among the influential Tafsir produced in the modern era.
 

Since he lived during the colonial period, as well as the early period of Tunisian independence, Ibn ‘Ashur’s intellectual output reflects different forces and stands witness to the dilemma experienced by the ‘ulama’ in a time of unprecedented change. Influenced by Muhammad Abduh, and responding to modern challenges to Islamic traditions, Ibn Ashur called for substantive reforms in Islamic education.
 

His work on the ultimate purposes of the Shari‘a represents not only an attempt to revive the Maqasid theory of Shatibi, but also a significant addition to modern efforts to renew Islamic legal theory. Ibn ‘Ashur, however, seems to have become disappointed with the independent state’s drive for modernisation and radical secularisation. Ibn Ashur passed away in 1393 Hijri at the age of 93 years.

Amongst his works are:

---Taqarir ala Sharh al-Ashmuni ‘ala al-Khulasah,
---Taqarir ala Sahih al-Bukhari,
---Diwan Khutub,
---Diwan Shi’ir Rihlah,
---Sharh ala Alfiyyat ibn Asim fi’l Usul.
