This is connected to the classical study of the Masahif of the Muslim regions. Ustadh Nouman and Dr Sohaib also delve into the genre of I’rab al-Qur’an, with special attention to an underrated Azhari masterpiece!

Dr. Sohaib Saeed and Ustadh Nouman are right back at it in this 4th instalment of this Quranic Library series. This episode begins by discussing thematic exegesis (al-tafsir al-mawdu'i) and examples of works on specific Quranic themes, with special emphasis on the stories of the Quran (al-qasas al-qur'ani). This is followed by a set of classical and modern books defending the Quran against various criticisms and misconceptions, and a discussion of Muslim responses to Orientalism.

In the third instalment of this series, Ustadh Nouman and Dr. Sohaib discuss a range of works related to the vocabulary and grammar of the Quran, including explorations of the subtle distinctions between words, and the effect of different structures on meaning. The field of Rhetoric (balaghah) is discussed alongside the study of Inimitability (i'jaz), and we discuss some recent scholarship in the field.

Episode 2 with Ustadh Nouman and Dr. Sobaib discusses the approaches of Muslim scholars to interpreting the Quran, as reflected in the genre of Usul al-Tafsir. Dr. Sohaib starts with compilations about exegetes of the past and the methods they applied. Is it fair to divide tafsir into "transmission (ma'thur)" and "opinion (ra'y)"? We also consider some of the contemporary efforts to develop Tafsir methodology.
