bibliography

Usool at-Tafseer, or the Fundamental Principles of Qur'aanic Interpretation, refers to the branches of knowledge that are necessary to provide an accurate interpretation of the Qur'aanic texts[2]. These branches of knowledge include Arabic grammar and syntax, Arabic literature, and Qur'aanic sciences (‘uloom al-Qur’aan)[2]. In addition, familiarity with modern fields of learning, such as the pure sciences and social sciences, is necessary for a commentator to make the Qur'aanic explanations relevant to modern human society[2].  Usool at-Tafseer addresses the step-by-step methodology of interpreting the Qur'aan to ensure that interpretations are not based on personal whims and fancies[2]. It emphasizes the importance of using proper methodology and relying on sound principles of interpretation[2]. These principles have traditionally been mentioned in the books of usool al-fiqh (The Fundamental Principles of Islamic Law) and the introductions to classical books of Tafseer[2].  Among the well-known early works dedicated to Usool at-Tafseer is a treatise called "Muqaddimah fee Usool at-Tafseer" by Ibn Taymeeyah, an outstanding scholar of the 13th century CE[2]. Another notable work is "at-Takmeel fee Usool at-Ta'weel" by the Indian scholar ‘Abdul-Hameed al-Faraahee[2].  The term "‘uloom al-Qur’aan" is commonly used to refer to all the fields of knowledge that serve to elucidate the Qur'aan or are derived from it[2]. These fields include the following[2]:  Tafseer (exegesis) Qiraa’aat (recitations) Ar-rasmul-‘Uthmaanee (the ‘Uthmaanic script) I‘jaaz al-Qur’aan (miraculous aspects of the Qur’aan) Asbaab an-nuzool (reasons for revelation) An-naasikh wal-mansookh (abrogating and abrogated verses) I‘raab al-Qur’aan (Qur’aanic grammar) Ghareeb al-Qur’aan (unusual Qur’aanic terms) Religious rulings Arabic language and literature

Usool At-tafseer

The language of the Qur'an plays a crucial role in accurately conveying its laws and principles. Islamic laws have specific goals and address various situations within society. To avoid confusion and misinterpretation, the Arabic language of the Qur'an employs words, phrases, and grammatical constructions that express the different shades of meaning necessary to clarify the intent of the laws. Understanding the language of the Qur'an is essential for comprehending its nuanced expressions and modes of communication. It distinguishes between general and specific cases, ensuring precise delivery of the laws and avoiding any potential misunderstandings. Exploring the language of the Qur'an provides insights into its unique modes of expression and the effective communication of its messag
