ISBN: 0195149068
Author: Mahmoud M. Ayoub
Publisher: State University of New York Press
Pages: 289 Binding: Hardback
Description from the publisher:
Using commentaries from the classical period through the medieval and modern periods to the present, this book presents the Qur'an as Muslims have understood it and interiorized it throughout its rich exegetical history. Sources have been carefully chosen to represent all of the major schools and trends in Islamic thought. This book has been written, not primarily for scholars, but for interested western readers, for students of Islam, and for non-Arabic-speaking Muslims. For almost fourteen centuries the Qur'an has been a source of inspiration and solace and, above all, a guide along the way of life toward eternity. It is presented as such here. This work is one of several volumes, each a reference to a particular part of the Qur'an. The entire collection will comprise an encyclopedia of Qur'an commentary. IB .com commentary: Originally published in 1984, with the second volume arriving in 1992, this ongoing series by Prof. Ayoub (Professor of Islamic Studies at Temple University, Pennsylvania) is intriguing and unique in its tafseer of the Qur'an in a number of ways. Ayoub does not provide his own tafseer, yet gives summarized tafseers of 13 influential Muslim scholars, comparing and contrasting their different interpretations of the Qur'an. These scholars, whose schools of thought encompass a broad base of Islamic methodology, are, in alphabetical order, Ibn Arabi, Ibn Kathir, Nisaburi, Qummi, Qurtubi, Qutb, Razi, Shawkani, Tabari, Tabarsi, Tabataba'i, Wahidi, and Zamakhshari. Via this method, Ayoub succinctly meshes the different interpretations, enabling the reader to differentiate one scholar's interpretation from another. Footnotes and sources are noted throughout. It covers the first and second surahs of the Qur'an, Surahs Fatiha and Baqarah.
