Title عقائد سے متعلق قرآنی آیات کی اشاری تعبیرات: تفسیر ابن عربی کا تجزیاتی مطالعہ

Author(s) Mr. Nazeer Ahmad

Abstract Islamic belief system is established upon five basic pillars: i) Tawheed/ Oneness of Allah Almighty, ii) Risalah/Prophethood as source of Islamic law and finality of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) iii) Divinely revealed books, including the Holy Qur’an as the Last Divine Book) iv) Angels/ Malaikah lead by Jibraeel, v) The Last Day of Judgment & The Life Hereafter. The Holy Qur’an, being the primary source of Islamic Shariah and ideology has been interpreted throughout history by virtue of intertextuality (Tafseer Qur’an bil Qur’an) and in the light of practice or Sunnah of the Holy Prophet (PBUH). This interpretation or Tafseer has been named as Tafseer Maasur. On the other hand, an intuitive interpretation (Tafseer Ishaari) of the Holy Book has been in vogue parallel to the traditionalist approach. Tafseer Ishari, as a method owned by some of the Sufi scholars of Qur’an, remains mainly influenced by subjectivity & intuitive thinking of the mystic exegetist. Though this method of Tafseer is acclaimed to be the source of getting inner meanings of word of God. One of the most prominent examples, in this regard is Tafseer Ibn e Arabi; interpretation by twelfth century Sufi poet, mystic & philosopher Muhammad ibn 'Alī ibn Muhammad ibn `Arabī (1165-1240). The following research focuses on the analytical study of the Ishaari method of Qur’anic interpretation, keeping in view the textual study of Tafseer ibn e Arabi, especially regarding only the verses of Qur’an that explain basic beliefs/ primary dogmas of Islam. The study comprises three chapters; the first discovering basic principles of Qur’anic Tafseer and the remaining critically analyzing Ibn e Arabi’s interpretations of the verses relating to basic beliefs in Qur’an
