Sunni Islam
Sunni Islam is the largest Islamic schools and branches, branch of Islam and the largest religious denomination in the world. It holds that Muhammad did not appoint any Succession to Muhammad, successor and that his closest companion Abu Bakr () rightfully succeeded him as the caliph of the Muslim community, being appointed at the meeting of Saqifa. This contrasts with the Succession of ʿAlī (Shia Islam), Shia view, which holds that Muhammad appointed Ali, Ali ibn Abi Talib () as his successor. Nevertheless, Sunnis revere Ali, along with Abu Bakr, Umar () and Uthman () as 'Rashidun, rightly-guided caliphs'. The term means those who observe the , the practices of Muhammad. The Quran, together with hadith (especially the Six Books) and (scholarly consensus), form the basis of all Fiqh, traditional jurisprudence within Sunni Islam.

{{Islam-stub ...
''Tafsīr al-Baghawī'' (), also known as ''Ma‘ālim al-Tanzīl'', is a classical Sunni tafsir (Qur'anic exegesis) by Husayn b. Mas'ūd al-Baghawī (d. 1122), written as an abridgement of '' Tafsir al-Thalabi'' by al-Tha'labī (d. 1035). It is generally classified as one of the books of narration-based tafsir, as it collects and presents many statements from the Sahabah and Tabi'oon. The book primarily relies on 11 reliable chains of narrations, which al-Baghawi mentions in the introduction to his work. It currently exists in four volumes and eight volumes in its Lebanon edition and Cairo edition respectively.

Tafsir Al-Wajiz
Al-Wajīz fī Tafsīr al-Kitāb al-ʿAzīz (), commonly known as Al-Tafsir al-Wajiz () is one of the earliest and first condensed classical Sunni Qur'anic interpretational works (''tafsir'') composed by the 11th century Islamic scholar, al-Wahidi. It is the smallest of al-Wahidi's three exegetical works, suppresses a category of texts that could be referred to as "pocket commentaries," or works that simply include the most essential explanatory of the Quran in order to fit in a small volume. Methodology In ''Tafsir al-Wajiz'', the verses are explained by the use of Hadith where applicable Hadith are accessible, rather than interpreting the Quran with the Quran itself whenever possible. He also incorporates the Sahaba and Tabi'in commentaries. He also uses linguistic skills to elucidate Quranic terms and talks about the causes of revelations. Presenting a monovalent interpretation of the Qur'an based on Ibn Abbas's traditions or those of others of his rank is the work's goal. It al ...

Tafsir Al-Wasit
Al-Wasīṭ fī Tafsīr al-Qurʾān al-Majīd (), commonly known as Al-Tafsir al-Wasit () is one of the earliest classical Sunni Qur'anic interpretational works (''tafsir'') composed by the 11th century Islamic scholar, al-Wahidi. A moderate-sized commentary, balanced between scholarly depth and accessibility. This book is categorised as Musnad al-Tafsir (tradition-based interpretation). The reason is because he utilizes Hadith and statements from the early generation of Muslims for commentary. Background This work, which al-Wahidi brought back into the fold of the classical technique and its catholic hermeneutical approach to the Qur'an, which his master al-Tha'labi had perfected, was conceived somewhere during the draughting of '' Tafsir al-Basit''. This work is centred on the content that al-Basit rejected. At the end of al-Basit, al-Wahidi refers the reader to another Qur'an commentary that contains material that is not included in the current work. Therefore, al-Wahidi must h ...

Al-Wahidi
'Alī b. Aḥmad al-Wāḥidī al-Naysābūrī, who was better known as Al-Wāḥidī (), was a prominent grammarian and philologist of the Classical Arabic and a Quran scholar who wrote several classical exegetical works. He is considered one of the leading Quranic exegete and literary critics of the medieval Islamic world. He composed three different-length commentaries: '' Tafsir al-Wajiz'', a short exegesis intended for a wider audience, '' Tafsir al-Wasit'', a medium-length exegesis, and '' Tafsir al-Basit'', an extensive exegesis replete with grammatical and doctrinal justifications. All of these commentaries have endured because of their widespread popularity. But the most significant of the three is Tafsir al-Basīt, considered to be al-Wāhidī's magnum opus. His book ''Asbab al-Nuzul'', which discusses the "occasions of revelation" of the Quran, has been the main source of his reputation up to this point. This book compiles all the customs that specify the revelation da ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Tafsir Al-Basit
Al-Tafsīr al-Basīṭ fī Tafsīr al-Kitāb al-ʿAzīz (), commonly known as Al-Tafsir al-Basit () is one of the earliest exhaustive classical Sunni Qur'anic interpretational works (''tafsir'') composed by the 11th century Islamic scholar, al-Wahidi. This is his largest and most comprehensive commentary consisting of 25 volumes. This book is categorised as al-Tafsir al-Tahlili (analytical commentary). The reason is that Al-Wahidi thoroughly examines verse by verse, mufrad by mufrad, utilizing only grammar and language in general. Background He began working on al-Basit; in his introduction to that work he makes clear that he began writing it early in his life and after Al-Tha'labi's death. In his colophon to al-Basit, he states that he began writing in the year of 427/1035 and he finished the work on 20 Rab'i 446/29 June 1054; the work thus took almost two decades to complete (nineteen years to be exact).

Al-Tha'labi was considered a leading Quranic exegete of the fifth/eleventh century who famously authored the classical exegesis '' Tafsir al-Tha'labi'', and his ''Ara'is al-Majalis'' is perhaps the best and most frequently consulted example of the Islamic qisas al-anbiya genre. He was an expert Quranic reciter and reader ('' muqriʾ''), traditionist, linguist, philologist, preacher, historian, litterateur, and theologian. Name The word al-Tha'labi, most biographers stress, was a nickname laqab), and not a tribal name (nasab). This means that al-Tha'labi was of Persian descent and not a member of the Arab tribal groups that carries the name.
