The Origins of the Exegetical Approach of Imam Al-Tahawi in his Interpretation of the Provisions of the Qur’an

Abstract

God Almighty has prepared for this nation men who made its glory, built its glories, and elevated it to the most exalted of its glory, until it was the best nation brought out to people, and among these figures are those who served the Noble Qur’an, and sacrificed the most precious and precious, to explain its secrets, and probe the depths of its depths, and among the most prominent of them is Imam (Abu Jaafar) Ahmed bin Muhammad al-Tahawi, d. 321 AH), that venerable scholar, and the great sea, who was known for authoring his book (interpretation of the provisions of the Noble Qur’an).

The nature of the research necessitated that I make it an introduction, two chapters, and a conclusion.

As for the first topic: I made it into two demands. In the first requirement, I presented a brief translation of Imam Al-Tahawi, and as for the second requirement, I dealt with Imam Al-Tahawi’s approach to his interpretation.

As for the second topic: it was in five demands, which are the foundations that he adopted in his interpretation, namely his interpretation of the Qur’an by the Qur’an, the Qur’an with the honorable Sunnah of the Prophet, the interpretation of the Qur’an by the sayings of the Companions, the interpretation of the Qur’an by the sayings of the followers, and its interpretation of the Qur’an in language.
