In this thread, I’ll be breaking down my #PhD thesis completed @IMESuoe in 2022 with the support of @alwaleed_centre. I aimed to explore the early development of Tafsīr through the exegetical contributions of Sufyān al-Thawrī (d. 161/778).
#Tafsir #Quran #Exegesis
The complete thesis is available @EdUniMainLib Research Archive:
era.ed.ac.uk/handle/1842/39…

Principal supervisor: Andreas Görke, @IMESuoe
External examiner: Nicolai Sinai, @FAMESOx
I analyzed exegetical traditions attributed to Sufyān, recorded in a unique and fragmentary manuscript in @RazaLibrary Rāmpūr. It has largely escaped a detailed historical-critical assessment in previous scholarship.

The Potential of an Ummah

I swear by the One Who sent our Master Muhammad ﷺ to this Earth,

this Ummah won’t reach

الحقيقة المحمدية
The Muhammadan Reality

except through

العلم المحمدي
Muhammadan Knowledge, which is found only in the prophetic inheritors…
The inner recitation is only true if it is in COMPLETE ALIGNMENT with the external recitation, both of which can only be reached through those who have already reached it.

This is plain to anyone of intellect and sincerity.

Otherwise, satan has his own reading too…
صلاح الظاهر بصلاح العقيدة والفقه
وصلاح الباطن بالتصوف

The rectification of the outward is through correct ‘aqīdah and fiqh.

The rectification of the inward is through [the correct states of] Tasawwuf.

This is our Tradition.

In upcoming #tafsir lesson, we’ll discuss—

1 The Quranic Family

2 internal recitation vs. personal reflection

3 adab with the Quran that leads to internal recitation

4 another law of the Quranic universe

5 the maqam of mushāhada

6 the name of new sub-genre of tafsir
7 some of my personal spiritual experiences with the Quran.

It is very difficult for me to reveal 7 and, as a general rule I don’t, however there were some matters that can only be clarified by doing so and thus…

الضرورة تقدر بقدرها

May Allah make it easy. آمين
اللهم صل على سيدنا محمد نورِ الأنوار وسر الأسرار وترياق الأغيار ومفتاح باب اليسار ،سيدنا محمد المختار ،وآله الأطهار وأصحابه الأخيار عدد نعم الله و افضاله

Classics of #IslamicPhilosophy #IslamicMysticism translation of the so-called #TafsirIbnArabi which is in fact #Tawilat of #AbdalRazzaqKashani (d. c. 1336) translated by Sayyid Javad Hashimi ‘Ulya in 2016 #Intisharat_e_mawla 1/ Image
Anyone who reads this carefully especially on the question of the #Mahdi cannot help but wonder about the notion that #Kashani was not #Shii as discussed by #PierreLory global.oup.com/academic/produ… 2/
The same translator rendered the classic #JamialAsrar of Sayyid Haydar Amuli (d. after 1385) into Persian in 1998 which provides the metaphysical argument for the complete compatibility of #ShiiIslam with #IbnArabiSchool 3/ Image

#Intisharat_e_mawla on #Enghelab in #Tehran which is currently shut has been at the forefront of publishing on #IslamicPhilosophy and #Mysticism especially through translations of major works 1/ ImageImage
One of their most prolific editors and translators was the #Zahabi author #MuhammadKhajavi (1934-2012) for his work on #MullaSadra and the #IbnArabiSchool google.co.uk/amp/s/www.hams… 2/
He translated the whole of the #Asfar as well as the #Tafsir and other works of #MullaSadra 3/ ImageImageImageImage

Evidence that #Hashiya writing is alive and well in #ToddLawson much delayed publication of his revised #PhD from 1988 with some caveats #Babi #ShiiTafsir #Shaykhis #Bahais 1/ ImageImage
As with most of #ToddLawson writing it is elegantly composed and insightful not least on the very notion of #tafsir as the mystical encounter with the divine in which the letters express the #deus_revelatus of the 14 #impeccables of the #Shii tradition 2/
Nevertheless the somewhat odd idea - that #Corbin himself peddled and which #Lawson perpetuates - that the #Bab constituted the culmination of the #Shii tradition is one that has been consistently critiqued by #Shaykhis and the wider #TwelverShii tradition 3/
