{"product_id":"great-exegesis","title":"Great Exegesis","description":"\u003cp\u003eFakhr al-Din al-Razi’s commentary on the Qur’an, known as \u003cem\u003eThe Great Exegesis\u003c\/em\u003e or \u003cem\u003eKeys to the Unseen\u003c\/em\u003e, is one of the great classics of Arabic and Islamic scholarship and has remained until today an indispensable reference work. \u003cem\u003eThe Great Exegesis\u003c\/em\u003e is a compendium not only of Qur’anic sciences and meanings, but also Arabic linguistics, comparative jurisprudence, Aristotelian and Islamic philosophy, dialectic theology and the spirituality of Sufism. The present volume focuses on two Chapters from the Qur’an: \u003cem\u003eSurat al-An‘am\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eSurat Ya-Sin\u003c\/em\u003e. Razi’s commentary on \u003cem\u003eSurat al-An‘am\u003c\/em\u003e covers much ground, but the main themes are two areas of theological and philosophical argument: arguments against polytheism and for monotheism; and arguments against the Mu‘tazili view of divine and human will. In his commentary on \u003cem\u003eSurat Ya-Sin\u003c\/em\u003e, Razi presents this Chapter as an extended meditation on the principles of prophethood, monotheism and the Resurrection, all of which pertain to the action of the heart. \u003cem\u003eSurat Ya-Sin\u003c\/em\u003e is traditionally known as ‘the heart of the Qur’an’. This scholarly yet accessible translation gives readers a thorough understanding of two much-recited Chapters of the Qur’an; it also opens up for readers a window into the thought and practice of one of Islam''s greatest theologians.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57490272092533,"sku":"9781911141228","price":30.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781911141228.jpg?v=1786442159","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/great-exegesis","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
