The thesis aims to produce a critical scholarly edition of a portion of the manuscript Ḥāshiyah by Shaykh Muḥyī al-Dīn Muḥammad al-Qarābāghī on the Tafsīr of al-Qāḍī al-Bayḍāwī, to highlight his exegetical efforts and scientific methodology, and to contribute to serving the Holy Qur’an by enriching the field of Qur’anic exegesis with a source that has not previously been critically edited.
Key Findings:
The study reached several findings, most notably that the manuscript is distinguished by originality and significant scholarly value, revealing the author’s extensive knowledge and mastery of the sciences of tafsīr, language, and rhetoric. The findings also demonstrate al-Qarābāghī’s meticulous attention to subtle Qur’anic meanings and his concern for resolving problematic issues found in al-Bayḍāwī’s tafsīr.
After an extensive discussion by the members of the examination committee, the thesis was accepted with a grade of Pass.
