This gives it particular relevance to those interested in learning how the Qur'an informs the daily life of the Muslims, on both the individual and communal level.
While his Tafsir covers them all, Imam al-Qurtubi was especially concerned to bring out the legal implications of the Qur'anic text, and his work emphasizes the practical applications of the Revelation. Tafsir al-Qurtubi - Introduction: The General Judgments of the Qur'an and Clarification of what it contains of the Sunnah and yahs of Discrimination Al-Qurtubi, Abu 'Abdullah Muhammad, Bewley, Abdalhaqq, Bewley, Aisha Abdurrahman on. It gives English-speaking readers access to one of the great classical commentaries, containing a wealth of authoritative traditional exposition of the Sacred Text.Ĭomprehensive interpretation of the Holy Qur'an requires consideration of every aspect - spiritual, legal, linguistic, social, and others. With the first volume of this abridged translation of Imam al-Qurtubi's al-Jami' li-ahkam al-Qur'an ("The Compendium of Legal Rulings of the Qur'an"), an important step has been taken towards remedying this situation. Tafsir Al- Qurtubi is a common term used for 'Al-Jami li-Ahkam al-Quran' translated as The Compendium of Legal Rulings of the Quran written by eminent classical scholar, Imam Al-Qurtubi. There has until now been a dearth of translations of classical tafsir literature into English. The publication of this volume represents a significant landmark in the history of Islamic literature in English.
