Stephen Lambden (UC-Merced, USA).

The Web page(s) below are constantly under revision and updating. They will evolve into the bibliography of a forthcoming book about Islamic hermeneutics and Tafsīr  perhaps entitled Dimensions of Tafsīr ("Exegesis") and Ta'wīl ("Eisegesis") in Islamic Qur'ān Commentary, A Literary Survey and Bibliographical Handbook. This book will give special attention to attitudes about exterior (ẓāhir) and interior (bāṭin) dimensions of meaning within diverse approaches to Qur'ān commentary as illustrated within varieties of  Sunnī and Shī`ī Tafsīr and related literatures. It will attempt to give weight to those Islamic traditions (hadith, akhbar) and thinkers which sanction or put forth a deeper level of Qur'ānic understanding that may go beyond the merely literalistic. It will pay attention to those who have treasured both the straightforward senses of the Qur'ān and what might be its inner meanings or deeper senses. Corrections and suggested additions to these Web page(s) would be greatly welcomed - mailto:  slambden@ucmerced.edu

Skovgaard-Petersen J.

`Portrait of the Intellectual as a Young Man: Rashd Rid's Muhwart al-muslih wa-al-muqallid (1906)' in Islam and Christian-Muslim Relations, Vol. 12/1, (2001), pp. 93-104(12). 

Abstract:

"Rashd Ridā's ideas and ideals of the intellectual are to be found pre-eminently in a work serialized in Al-Manār, in 1901, called Muhwart al-muslih wa-al-muqallid (The Debates of the Reformer and the Traditionalist). This work contains much of Ridā's thinking on religious reform. A very interesting aspect of the work is that it is a work of fiction. It is Ridā's only experiment with fiction, and its aim is to furnish the reader with a portrait of the model Muslim intellectual. The Muhwart can be taken as an example of a representation of a decidedly modernist Muslim intellectual whom the readers of Al-Manār are invited to identify with and take as a role model."

`Alī ibn Abī Ṭālib (b. Mecca c. 600 CE - d. Kufa 40/661). The fīrst Imam for the Shī`ī Muslims and fourth Caliph of the Sunnis

The cousin, son-in-law, and (for Imami Shi`is  and others the immediate)  successor to the Prophet Muhammad (d. 632 CE). He was very widely respected as an important expert on all aspects of Tafsīr. Ibn `Abbās (d. c. 68 / 687) who is regarded as the "Father of Tafsīr" (see below) is reported to have said, "What I took from the interpretation of the Qur'ān is from `Alī ibn Abī Ṭālib".  The  possibly proto-Shī`ī companion Ibn Maṣ`ūd allegedly stated that `Alī was heir to both the inward and outward dimensions of the Qur'ān.  `Alī is reckoned to have compiled one of the earliest chronologically organized recensions of the Qur'ān (see Modarressi 2003: 2-4). Many ḥadith on Qur'ān commentary are attributed to  and relayed from `Alī and his Imami associates and sympathizers. He remains a foundational figure of the greatest importance. A number of Tafsīr books or crystallizations of Tafsīr tradition are attributed to him. In recent years some of them have been the subject of academic evaluation. Sunni anti-Shi`i polemic to some extent appears to have eclipsed or  lessened the full appreciation of his central position in the genesis of Qur'ān commentary.

• Qur'ān codex. An early recension probably represented  by the reading of `Āṣim ibn Abī Najūd al-Kūfī  (d.    ; one of the seven "readers" of the Qur'ān) and transmitted by Ḥafṣ ibn Sulaymān al-Kūfī  (d.180/796) also a `Reader of the Qur'ān' and the former's student and step-son (Modarressi 2003:3 fn.10).

• Monograph on the recension of  `Alī by the Sunnī writer Abū Ṭāhir `Abd al-Waḥīd ibn `Umar al-Baghdāī al-Bazzāz (d.349/960).

• See below on the Tafsīr attributed to Ibn `Abbās (d. c. 68 / 687).

Bahā' al-Dīn al-`Āmilī = Shaykh Bahā'ī.   بهاء الدين محمد بن حسين عاملي   =

The son of Shaykh Ḥusayn ibn `Abd al-Ṣamad al-`Āmilī (919-984 AH = 1512-1576 CE) who was appointed Shaykh al-Islam at the then Safavid capital Qazvin by Shah Ṭahmasb (930-984 AH =1524-1576 CE). He was born near Baalbek 27th Dhu'l-Ḥijja 953 AH = 18th February 1547 CE and  died Isfahan  12th Shawwāl 1030 AH = 30th August 1621 CE. A polymathic and widely traveled individual Shaykh Bahā'ī is viewed by some as the Islamic Mujaddid ("Renewer") of the 11th/17th century. He was an accomplished theologian, philosopher, mathematician, Sufi inclined mystic, architect, grammarian and more besides. He was a one-time Shaykh al-Islām at the then Safavid capital Isfahan under Shāh `Abbās I (r. 996/1588- 1038/1629). Shaykh Baha'i is a key Safavid period Shī`ī commentator whose Tafsīr works have been neglected. See Brockelmann,  GAL II: 414-15; Supp. I:76, 741; Supp. II: 595-97. Kohlberg in EIr. III: 429-30.

"In 1461, al-Biqa`i, a Mamluk exegete, decided to use the Bible to interpret the Qur'ān. This was an unprecedented decision which contradicted a millennium of Islamic prohibition against the religious use of the Bible by the Muslims. The Qur'ān commentary he wrote soon became the center of a major controversy as to whether it was legal or Islamic to use the Bible as a religious text in Islam. This paper is an analysis of this momentous development in the history of Islamic interaction with the scriptures of Judaism and Christianity. I will draw on two of al-Biqa`i's works to understand why he thought it was permissible to use the Bible and how he used it in his Qur'ān commentary."

"Al-Khaṭīb al-Baghdādī [ d. 463/ 1070] mentions two recensions of this work: (a) that of Muhammad b. al-Jahm al-Simmarï (d. 277/890-891), who wrote at al-Farrā''s dictation (cf. Ta'rtkh Baghdad, II, p. 161); it is this recension which has been published (I, ed. Aḥmad Yûsuf al-Najātî and Muhammad 'Alī al-Najjār, Cairo, 1955, repr. 1980; II, ēd. al-Najjār, Cairo, 1966; III, ed. 'Abd al-Fått ah Ismacīl Shalabī and 'Alî al-Najdī Naşif, Cairo, 1972); (b) the recension of al-Farrā' 's student Salama b. 'Asim. Al-KhaţTb al-Baghdādī reports that after ál-Farra' had completed a session of dictation and the students had left, Salama would arrive and read back the material to ál-Farra', who would enter changes; al-Khatīb gives this as the reason for the differences between the two recensions ( Tā 'rīkh Baghdad, XIV, pp. 152-153).
IṬ [= Ibn Ṭāwūs] possessed two one-volume manuscripts of al-Farrā' 's work. The fīrst manuscript comprised seven parts (ajzā'), numbered ten through sixteen; the excerpts cited indicate that it contained roughly the second half of al-Farrā's text. The second manuscript, with an ijāza dated 409/1018-9, comprised seven parts (ajzā') numbered one through seven; judging by the excerpts cited, this manuscript contained the entire work" (Kohlberg 1992:340).

He is associated with the transmission of the Tafsīr attributed to Ibn `Abbās (see above) and is said to have written five other  works of Tafsīr. See  Brockelmann, EI II:113-14; Fleisch, EI² II: 926-27.

Rippin (1980) writes regarding printings of this work (p. 41)
   

"One of these works is entitled Tanwīr al-miqbas min tafsīr Ibn 'Abbās. Al-Dawūdī (d. 945/1538) and, probably repeating the information from him, Hājjī Khalifa (d. Ι068/Ι658) report that this was a four-volume work. Brockelmann  lists this work as printed in Cairo in 1290 and 1316, the latter edition being published along with the naskh text of Muhammad ibn Hazm;  Fleisch  then adds mention of a print in Cairo, 1345/1926. Sezgin in his entry on Ibn 'Abbas adds the following list of prints of this al-Fīrūzābādī text (under the supposition that it represents a transmission of Ibn 'Abbas's tafsïr): Bulāq, 1863,1866,1873,1885; Cairo, 1302,1316,1332, 1937, 1960. This list appears to be a somewhat updated restatement of what is found in Brockelmann under Ibn 'Abbas, although Sezgin does not make this explicit." (so Rippin, 1994 [2001]).

"Furāt b. Furāt b. Ibrahim al-Kufī is the least known of the commentators that will be discussed here. He is not mentioned in early Shī'ī biographical compositions. From his nisba, we learn that he was associated with the city of al-Kūfa, although it is uncertain whether he was born there or lived there most of his life or at least part of it. The dates of his birth and death are also unknown. His chronology can be estimated on the basis of his relation to several scholars whose hadiths he transmitted or who transmitted hadiths on his authority. They include Abu 1-Hasan 'Alî ibn Babawayhi ([d. 3Z9/940], who according to certain sources transmitted traditions he received from Furāt), and his son, Abu Ja'far Muhammad b. 'Alî ibn Babawayhi (d. 381/991), the more renowned of the two, who also cites Furāt in his various writings (not directly but through the mediation of Hasan b. Muhammad b.

"Tafsīr Ibn Abbas, presented here in complete English translation for the first time ever, is the second work in the Great Commentaries on the Holy Qur'ān series. The series aims to make widely available leading exegetical works in translation for study and research in unabridged form, which are faithful to the letter and meaning of the Arabic. Attributed variously to the Companion Abdullah Ibn 'Abbas (d.687CE) and to Ibn Ya'qub al-Firuzabadi (d.1414CE), Tafsīr Ibn Abbas is one of the pivotal works for understanding the environment which influenced the development of Quranic exegesis. Despite its uncertain authorship and its reliance on controversial Israelite stories, Tafsīr Ibn Abbas nevertheless offers valuable insight into the circulation and exchange of popular ideas between Islam, Judaism, and Christianity during the formative phase of Islamic exegesis. This commentary is unabridged and uncensored, like the other works in the Great Commentaries on the Holy Qur’an series. The traditions attributed to Ibn Abbas that are at the core of this work render it as a seminal work of exegesis. Tafsīr Ibn Abbas is unencumbered with isnads, or chains of transmission, and does not contain elaborate theological or philosophical explanations or technical grammatical explanations, thus making the work accessible to the non-specialist. Muslim scholarship considers the author Ibn Abbas as the real father of the science of Tafsīr. The reports related from Ibn Abbas regarding the interpretation of the Qur’an are quite abundant. In fact, there is almost no interpretation of a Qur’anic verse for which one cannot find an interpretation to Ibn Abbas.

About the Translator: Dr. Mokrane Guezzou is a British-Algerian translator of major Islamic works. His translation of Al-Wahidi’s Asbab Al-Nuzul also appears in the Great Commentaries on the Holy Qur’an series. He is also presently at work on a translation and study of Ibn ‘Ata Allah al-Iskandari’s Al-Qasd al-Mujarrad fi Ma’rifat al-Ism al-Mufrad (Fons Vitae). About the General Editor: Dr. Yousef Waleed Meri is a leading specialist in Islam of the pre-modern period, Islamic cultural and social history and interfaith relations. He received a B.A. (Magna cum laude) from University of California, Berkeley in 1992, an M.A. from the State University of New York Binghamton in 1995 and a D.Phil. from Wolfson College, Oxford University in 1999. Currently, he is a Fellow and Special Scholar in Residence at the Royal Aal al-Bayt Institute for Islamic Thought (Amman, Jordan), which is under the patronage of Abdallah II, King of Jordan. He has published numerous articles and books dealing with various aspects of Islamic history, civilization and ritual practice."

• Abstract =

"Like the commentary of al-Ṭabarī (311/923), that of Ibn Abī Ḥātim, of which an important part has survived, contains the exegetical reports of the first three centuries of Islam. The extant commentary covers from Sūra 1 to the end of Sūra 13 and from Sūra 23 to the end of Sūra 29. Ibn Abī Ḥātim’s commentary has been edited and published in ten volumes by Asad Muhammad al-Tayyib, but for several reasons this edition cannot be considered a successful work of scholarship. In al-Tayyib’s edition the isnāds are numbered, but the editor prefers to use a naive and misleading method of numbering: on the one hand, he numbers the isnāds contained in the existing manuscripts of this exegesis; on the other he has tried to complete the isnāds of the missing part of Ibn Abī Ḥātim’s commentary by using those later works that have benefited from Ibn Abī Ḥātim’s work. Thus the original part of this exegesis is combined with its later compilations. Further, according to this edition, the latest isnāds is given as number 19541. Although this figure is supposed to indicate the total number of isnāds in the commentary, we find that there is a fundamental mistake in the numbering, especially after isnād no. 9061, where this isnād is followed by no. 8328, and the sequence continues 8329, 8330 … and so on. Nor is this the only error. We find that the order is frequently disrupted. Because of these discrepancies in the numbering of the isnāds we will give the page number in the footnotes concerning our own findings rather than referring to the editor’s numbering system. In addition, the large number of misreadings of text and misquoted names bears witness to the insufficiency of this edition. Despite these mistakes the publisher made no corrections in its second printing (1999), although this did include four-volume indices and takhrīj prepared by Kāmil Uwaya. There thus remains an urgent need for a critical edition. "

Jābir ibn Yazid ibn al-Ḥārith al-Ju`fī  (d.128/745-6).

Late `Umayyad period Kufan Shi`ite transmitter of Ḥadīth and a close associate of (the fī fth twelver) Imam Muhammad al-Bāqir (d. c.126/743) to whom a Tafsīr is also attributed (see below). He was much lauded by Shiite extremists and widely viewed as an expert in Tafsīr. He often expressed a pro-`Alid Qur'ānic exegesis-eisegesis. For some details see Modarressi 20003 1:86-103.

• Kitāb al-Tafsīr ("The Book of Commentary"). Portions of this early commentary are cited in various Sunni and Shī`ī sources including, for example (?), the Uṣūl and Rawḍat al-Kāfī  of Kulaynī (vol. 1:2-8-9 and 8:379-81) and the Tafsīr of al-`Ayyāshī (see above).

Ja'far al-Ṣādiq (d.145/765) - the sixth (twelver) Shī`ī Imam.

An important though little studied major fountainhead of Imami Shī`ī hadith and Tafsīr traditions treasured by Sufī s and others.

"Editions of separate Qur’an commentaries are available for Ja`far al-Sādiq (Nwyia, 1968a), Nūrī (Nwyia, 1968b), Ibn`Atā’ (Nwyia, 1973, pp. 23–182) and Hallāj (Massignon, 1968, pp. 359–412)These four tafsīrs have been reproduced (with Nwyia’s original French introductions to his editions of the commentaries by Ja`far al-Sādiq and Ibn ‘Atā’ translated into Persian) in Pūrjavādī (1369, pp. 1–292)...

• "Tafsīr al-Jalālayn, presented here in complete English translation for the first time ever, is the first work in The Great Commentaries on the Holy Qur’an series. The series aims to make widely available the leading exegetical works in translation for study and research in unabridged form, which are faithful to the letter and meaning of the Arabic.

• Tafsīr Al-Jalālayn is one of the most significant Tafsīrs, or commentaries, for the study of the Quran. Composed by two "Jalāls"- Jalāl al-Din al-Mahalli (d. 1459CE) and Jalāl al-Din al-Suyuti (d. 1505CE), Tafsīr Al-Jalālayn is generally regarded as one of the most easily accessible works of Quranic exegesis beacause of its simple style and one volume length. For the first time ever Tafsīr al-Jalālayn is completely translated into an unabridged, highly accurate and readable annotated English translation by Feras Hamza... About the Translator: Dr Feras Hamza received his M. Phil and D. Phil in Islamic history from the University of Oxford. He has worked as a research assistant in Islamic history at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton and is currently a Research Associate with the Qur’anic Studies Project at the Institute of Ismaili Studies in London. He is a specialist on early Islam and teaches courses in Islamic History, Quran and Tafsīr. Dr. Hamza is presently at work on a translation of Al-Baydawi’s Tafsīr and a monograph on the Birth of the Muslim Afterlife.

I draw below on the Rizvi 2006 article cited below. A critical edition is planned by this writer who has listed 2006: fn 100 the following mss :

• Tafsīr Fātiha and part of Surat al-Baqara (Q.2:1-40). Incomplete.

• "MS Istanbul University Library 1285, dated 958/1551;

• MS India Office Islamic 842, dated 960/1553;

• MS Istanbul University Library 2682, dated 963/1556;

• MS Kitābkhāna-yi `Umūmī-yi Äyat Allāh al-Marcashī 6744, dating from the 10th/16th century;

• MS Bratislava University Library (Bašagic collection) TF 73, dated 1001/1592-3.

• Rizvi also states "I will supplement readings from two further manuscripts that include the remainder of his exegesis: MS Princeton (Garrett-Yahuda Collection) 1397 and 2397, both dating from the 12th/18th century." (ibid).

• MS India Office Islamic 842, "a codex that is a majmū'a of the kulliyyat (complete non-poetical works) of Jāmī in which the exegesis of the Fātiha is between folios 3v to 9v inclusive.101 The codex is dated Rabī` I 960/February-March 102 1553 and is thus the second oldest copy extant. The exegesis, according to the earliest witnesses, is supposed to be among Jāmī's last works, partly accounting for its rather incomplete nature..." (Rizvi, JQS 8/1  p. 73).

Thus, when one reads a commentary from a particular perspective one expects to find the discipline and method of the exegete explicit in his work. This is especially true of philosophical and mystical commentaries on the Qur'ān. The current paper considers the case of the Tafsīr of the famous Persian poet 'Abd al-Rahman Jami (d. 898/1492) on the Fatiha, as an illustration of the metaphysics of the school of Ibn 'Arabi. In particular I will analyse his understanding of the basmala in the light of the Akbari doctrine of divine mercy, juxtaposing the famous chapter on Zechariah from the Fusus al-hikam, which presents the doctrine along with famous commentaries on it including that of Jami, with Jami's interpretation of the Qur'ānic verse. What emerges is a highly systematic hermeneutic of the word of God in terms of a human scheme of metaphysics, in this case the application of the doctrines of the school of Ibn 'Arabi to the understanding of the basmala."

Mss contained, for example, in SOAS (London) No. 1141 [unpaginated] Item 8.  [ fols. XXX] (see Ibrahimi, Fihrist No. 270 p. 331). Rashti claims at the outset  to be giving a deep mystico-philosophical exegesis expressive of the ta`wīl ("allegorical") and of the bāṭin ("Interior dimension") of this Qur'ānic verse. This work is an extended several hundred page very complex  exegesis- eisegesis of the Throne Verse. It commences as follows:

الحمد لله الذي اجلي افئدة العارفين لتجليات ظهوره و انار قلوب السالكين لاشراقات نوره و شرح صدور العالمين لتشعشع لمعات بدوره و الصلوة علي سيدنا محمد الذي به استقر عرشه و كرسيه و هو الاسم الذي استقر في ظله فلايخرج منه الي غيره و هو الاسم الاعظم المكنون و النور الانور المخزون به نورت الانوار و به ظهرت الاسرار و به اشرق النور من صبح الازل و به وجدت الموجودات ما قل و جل و علي آله و اصحابه شموس الهدي و بدور الدجي و اعلام التقي و ذوي النهي و اولي الحجي و كهف الوري و ورثة الانبياء عليهم صلوات الله ما دامت الارض و السماء .

"Praised be unto God Who shed the splendor of His radiance upon the inmost hearts of the mystic knowers so as to actualize the disclosure of the orient lights of His theophany. He set ablaze the hearts of the mystic wayfarers through the orient splendors of His Light and explicated the inner retreats [bosoms] of all the worlds for the purpose of dazzlingly illuminating the radiances of His cyclic schemata.

And blessings be upon our Master [the Prophet] Muhammad through whom He settled down upon His Throne (`arsh) and His Seat (kursi) for he is the Name through the shadow of which eyes were solaced. Wherefore there did not emerge from before me aught save what is of Him for he [Muhammad] is the Hidden, Mightiest Name (al-ism al-a`zam) and the Light of Lights treasured up, the very one through whom the Lights found illumination. Through him were mysteries disclosed and Light irradiated from the Dawn of Eternity (subḥ al-azal). And through him did all existence fīnd realization.... " (trans. Lambden).

• "Only preserved in a single manuscript in Tehran, this remarkable twelfth-century Qur’anic commentary by Mu°ammad b. ‘Abd al-Karím al-Shahraståní marks the achievement of a lifelong, arduous quest for knowledge. Shahraståní began writing Mafåtí° al-asrår or Keys to the Arcana towards the end of his life and the work reflects the brilliant radicalism of his more private religious views. The introduction and opening chapter of this virtually unknown work is presented here in a bilingual edition, which also includes an introduction and contextual notes by Toby Mayer. In Keys to the Arcana, Shahraståní breaks down the text of the Qur’an and analyzes it from a linguistic point of view, with reference to the history of Qur’anic interpretation. The author’s ultimate aim is to use an elaborate set of complimentary concepts - the ‘keys’ of the work’s title - to unearth the esoteric meanings of the Qur’anic verses, which he calls the ‘arcana’ of the verses (asrår al-åyåt). A historian of religious and philosophical doctrines, Shahraståní has generally been considered to be a spokesman for the Sunni religious establishment under the Seljuqs. The complimentary concepts in question, however, appear to derive from the Ismaili Shi‘i intellectual tradition, indicating that the author may have been secretly involved in the Ismaili movement. Shahraståní’s unusually esoteric and highly systematic exegesis of the Qur’an provides a vivid picture of the mature state of scriptural commentary in the twelfth-century. Dr Mayer’s meticulous translation of Shahraståní’s Introduction and Commentary on Surat al-fatiha, supplemented by the Arabic text, allows the reader and scholar access to this intriguing Muslim intellectual work for the first time."

   Note Storey vol. 1:1f

"1. The first definite landmark in the history of Persian Qur'ānic literature is the translation of the large Arabic tafsīr of al-Ţabarî,¹ which is likewise one of the oldest surviving works in the Persian language. ² Abu Ja'far Muhammad b. Jarīr al-Tabarī died at Baghdad in 310/923. ³ Abu Salih Manşūr b. Nūḥ, the Samānid ruler of Transoxiana and Khurasan, for whom this tafsĩr was translated, reigned from 350/961 to 366/976. The precise date of the translation is not recorded, but the Persian preface ⁴ gives information concerning the circumstances which led to the undertaking. The Arabic original, we are told, was brought in forty volumes to Abu Şalih Manşur b. Nuh, who, finding it difficult to read, desired that it should be translated. The 'ulamā of Transoxiana, whom he convoked and asked for a fatwa concerning the permissibility of translating it, expressed the view that for persons ignorant of Arabic it was lawful to read [ p.2>] and write Qur'ānic exegesis in Persian. They based their opinion mainly on the Qur'ānic verse "We have not sent any apostle save with the language of his people, that he might explain to them " (Surah xiv 4, tr. Palmer), but also on the consideration that from the time of Adam to that of Ishmael all the prophets and kings of the earth had spoken Persian, Ishmael having been the first to speak Arabic. Accordingly, Manşur ibn Nūḥ assembled learned men¹ from Bukhara, Samarqand, Balkh, Farghānah and elsewhere, and they by his order elected from among themselves a company of translators. In the process of their work these scholars abridged the original by omitting the isnāds. They also added some historical information up to the year 345.

At the present day this translation and the oldest Persian commentaries on the Qur'ān are of special interest for the light which they throw on the Persian language at a comparatively early stage in its development. "

1 The Arabio text of this tafsīr was published in 30 volumes at the Maimamyah Preaa, Cairo, in 1321/1903. Its formal title (not mentioned in the preface) seems to have been Jāmi' al-bayān 'an ta՝wĩl āy al-Qur'ān, see Annales guos scripsit . . . at-Tabari ed. de Goeje, Introducilo, p. xii.

Of approximately equal antiquity are the abridged translation of al-Tabari's history of the world (Ta՝nkh al-rusul wa-'l-muluk) undertaken by the Wazĩr Abu 'Ali Muhammad ibn Muhammad al-Bal'amĩ in obedience to an order issued in 352/903-4 by Abu Salih Manşur ibn Nüh (see Browne Lit. Hist, i 11-12, 309, 477-8), the Materia Modica (kitāb al-abniyah'an haqa'iq al-adwiyah) composed by Abu Manşur Muwaffaq ibn ' Alî Harawĩ for the same ruler (see Browne, ibid.), the geographical work Hudud al-'alam composed in 372/982-3 and discovered at Bukhara by A.

Tafsīr Al-Tustari translated by Annabel and Ali Keeler

• Tafsīr Al-Tustari (= The Great Commentaries on the Holy Qur’an Series Volume IV) translated by Annabel and Ali Keeler General Editor: Yousef Meri 310 pp. Amman Jordon: Royal Aal al-Bayt Institute for Islamic Thought & Fons Vitae Publishing (USA).  ISBN: 1891785192 ISBN-13: 9781891785191.

• "The Tafsīr Al-Tustari is the earliest surviving Sufi commentary on the Qur'ān. This commentary is one of the few authenticated works in Tustari's name, and is a key source for understanding the mystical thought and teachings of this important and influential Sufi. In addition to insights into the spiritual significance of almost 1000 verses of the Qur'ān, this commentary includes numerous references to traditions of the Prophet, explanations of the ethical and mystical dimensions of the religious life, stories of the prophets, and anecdotes about earlier mystics. The translation has the benefit of reference to three good manuscripts in addition to the printed edition of the text, and is generously augmented with explanatory footnotes throughout. The book will not only provide its readers with an invaluable introduction to the Sufi tradition of Qur'ānic interpretation, but also acquaint them with spiritual doctrines that were to become fundamental to the later development of Sufism. This is the first complete translation into English of any Sufi Qur'ān commentary, and will be a substantial and much-needed primary resource for the study of the Qur'ān, Islamic mysticism and the history of Islamic thought. Whilst there is an increasing number of works by the great Sufi masters available in Western languages, there has been no complete Sufi commentary available in English translation, in its entirety, until now.

• About the Translators: Annabel Keeler obtained her doctorate from Cambridge University in 2001. Her dissertation, revised and expanded, was published in 2006 under the title "Sufi Hermeneutics: The Qur'ān Commentary of Rashid al-Din Maybudi." She recently completed a research fellowship at Wolfson College, Cambridge, where she now continues her work in the field of Islamic mysticism with a particular interest in the Sufi interpretation of the Qur'ān. Apart from her book on Maybudi's Qur'ān commmentary, she has published a number of articles in the field of Islamic mysticism and Sufi hermeneutics. She is currently preparing a monograph of the 9th Century mystic Abu Yazid al-Bistami.

• Ali Keeler has spent almost ten years in the Middle East, firstly in the Yemen and then in Damascus, where as well as teaching English, he has studied Arabic, the art of Qur'ānic recitation, aspects of the traditional Islamic sciences, and has read through several classic works of Islamic mysticism with living Sufi masters. He has translated a number of books into English, including "Selected Prayers of the Prophet Muhammad and Great Saints" and "A Tourist Guide to Craq de Chevalier."

Chapter 14 of the book Ideas, Images and Methods, Insights into Classical Arabic Literature and Islam  (ed. Sebastian Gunther, Leiden: Brill, 2005) by  Andrew J. Lane is entitled ` Working Within Structure, al-Zamakhshari (D. 1144): A Late Mutazalite Qur'ān Commentator at Work'. His essay  opens as follows, "Sometime after he had finished writing his Quran commentary, al-Kashshăf, the Mu'tazilite grammarian and man of letters from Khwarazm, Abu'l-Qasim Mahmud ibn 'Umar al-Zamakhsharî (d. 538 A.H./1144 C.E.), added the following postscript:

This copy is the first, original copy (nuskhat al-aṣl), which was transcribed from the rough draft (al-sawād); it is the original Meccan version of the Kashshāf (umm al-Kashshāf al-ḥaramiyya), hlessed and source of՝ blessing (al-mutamassaḥ bihā), worthy of being used to invoke heavenly blessings and to pray for rain in a year of drought. The author finished it with his own hand, facing the Ka'ba, in the shade of his house, the Sulaymaniyya, overlooking the Ajyād Gate, [which house has] Madrasat al-'Allāma written on it. [He finished it] on the morning of Monday, 23 Rabī' al-Ākhir in the year 528 (20 February, 1134 C.E.).'
