“Ayat ul Ahkam” of selected Verses in Tafsir e Mahasin Al Quran and Tafsir Hikmatul Quran: An analytical and comparative Study

تفسیر محاسن القرآن اور تفسیر حکمۃ القرآن (سورۃالقصص اور سورۃالعنکبوت میں ) آیات الاحکام کا تجزیاتی وتقابلی مطالعہ

Abstract

The Tafsir Mahasin al-Qur'an follows a structured approach, beginning with a simple and fluent Urdu translation. After translation, it elaborates on interpretative points, followed by a systematic discussion of relevant rulings and commandments. Mufti Ghulam ur-Rahman occasionally delves into topics of Sufism and politics within his exegesis. Additionally, he addresses contemporary issues and provides their resolutions, adhering to the Hanafi school of thought in jurisprudential matters.

Similarly, Tafsir Hikmat al-Qur'an follows a methodical sequence, starting with the direct translation of verses. It then presents the Shan-e-Nuzul (circumstantial revelation) in accordance with the context. The interpretation is enriched with hadith references and the sayings of early scholars (Salaf), often following the exegetical approach of Imam Shawkani. Occasionally, after explaining a few verses, the tafsir includes beneficial insights and wisdom. Furthermore, at the beginning of each surah, it provides an overview of the surah’s structure, themes, and connections, while highlighting its unique features at the end.

This systematic and comprehensive approach makes both Tafsir Mahasin al-Qur'an and Tafsir Hikmat al-Qur'an valuable resources for understanding the Qur'an in an accessible and insightful manner.
