It is a commentary of Quran that has benefitted all the Shia commentators of Quran throughout the ages and all of them have mentioned it in their exegesis. Also, Allamah Majlisi has, in the great Shia encyclopedia of Biharul Anwar , quoted from this Tafsir excessively. Since the translation of this book has now reached completion through the bestowal of God and grace of the Imam of the time (a) and is ready to be printed in five volumes, it is necessary to explain the following points regarding it: 1- The copy followed in translation is the edition published by Darul Kitab Jazaeri, which is revised and has additional footnotes. It also contains an introduction of His Eminence, Ayatullah Sayyid Tayyib Jazaeri (r). 2- With attention to its verses and translation and also research of the footnotes and sources that are used in this exegesis, translation of the exegesis has reached to five volumes. 3- Our excellent research is present in footnotes from books of traditions such as Biharul Anwar and from the traditions of the exegeses of Tafsir Burhan , Safi , Nurus Thaqlayn and many other different books: that is if we quote from all the books of exegeses, the volume would reach a size much more than it is at present. 4- Translation of Volume one has come in two volumes, so that the sources of research are mentioned at the end of the second volume and the translation of second volume of Arabic is prepared in three volumes so its researched sources are mentioned at the end of the fifth volume. 5 5- Tafsir Qummi includes all the chapters of Quran, but it does not contain all the verses; therefore for the convenience of public, we have mentioned the English translation in different fonts for the reader to have access to it without any difficulty. 6- Since this translation is the first translation, which is given with exegesis of Qummi, it is not free of doubt; therefore I humbly request the reader that in case of any mistake they should overlook it and forgive this humble writer. In the end, I thank all those, who cooperated in typesetting, especially Hujjatul Islam wal Muslimeen, Haaj Amir

Shiite narrations consider the verse revelation on the day of Ghadir and about the guardianship of Imam Ali (PBUH), but the Sunnis deny this. In this article, for the first time, by categorizing the views of the Sunnis and considering the necessity of internal compatibility of the content of the verse and external compatibility with other verses and the intellectual necessities and without quoting narrations, is proven that the perfection of religion is possible only with Imamate and Wilayah with a novel style; and this is the Shiite vote. This research easily refuted all the possibilities mentioned in Sunni sources by the mentioned method and without the need to enter into the usual disputes in the interpretation of the verse.

  • An Enlightening Commentary Into the Light of the Holy Quran Vol: 18 from Surah Al-Mujadalah (58) to Surah Al-Qiyamah (75) Introduction
    IslamicMobility.com - xkp An Enlightening Commentary into the Light of the Holy Quran Vol: 18 From Surah al-Mujadalah (58) to Surah al-Qiyamah (75) Introduction ﺑِﺴْﻢِ اﻟﻠﻪِ اﻟﺮَّﺣْﻤﻦِ اﻟﺮَّﺣِﻴﻢِ In The Name of Allah, The Beneficent, The Merciful “Verily the Qur'an doth guide to that which is most right (or stable) (to run societies), and giveth the glad tidings to the Believers who work deeds of righteousness, that they shall have a magnificent reward”1. “We have sent down to thee the book explaining all things, a Guide, a Mercy, and Glad tidings to Muslims"2. “When those come to thee who believe in Our Signs, say: 'Peace be on you: Your Lord hath inscribed for Himself (the rule on Mercy; verily, if any of you did evil in ignorance, and thereafter repented, and amended (his conduct), Lo! He is oft- forgiving, Most Merciful”3. The light of Islam is illuminating hearts of individuals in nearly all parts of the world, in spite of heavy barriers and careful controls and religious interrogation exerted by not only many governments of non-Muslim nations, but also in some Muslim countries, against their believing people, especially during the years after the Islamic Revolution of Iran. The effective influence of the light of the truth together with the speed in the movement of the Age has brought forth a more vital exchange of thought and religious ideology in connection with the Holy Qur'an. In regard to this, we refer to what the Messenger of Allah (S) has said about it: When afflictions surround you like the dark night refer to the Qur'an, because, it is an Intercessor whose intercession is accepted.

EUROPE 2016 History of Shiite Esoteric Interpretation In the Fourth Century a Dr. Mohammad Reza Aram a Assistant Professor Department of Quranic Sciences and Hadith Islamic Azad University, (Central Tehran Branch - Iran) Abstract The term esoteric interpretation or ta’wil has an important place in Islamic tradition, especially in Qur'anic commentary and mysticism, but also in other religious disciplines, such as dogmatic theology, principles of jurisprudence, jurisprudence, and philosophy. When esoteric interpretation is used in connection with the Quran, it is applied to all levels of meaning, from a simple, literal meaning to the hidden meanings. In the exegetical traditions, ta’wil is mostly applied to the hidden meanings and esoteric exemplars of Quranic words. A major goal of this research on the history of esoteric interpretation is, to compare and contrast the methods employed in various texts belonging to the esoteric tradition of Qur’anic interpretation in the fourth century with a view to understand what, if anything, they all had in common. In order to do this, the study will document all major ta'wil works that were produced in Shi'i Islam in the fourth century, the century which has been known as the establishment of the traditional Shi‘i school of exegesis. Based on the above, the main topics of this research revolves around three axis: Definition of esoteric interpretation, methodology of Shiite Islam in esoteric interpretation of Quran and the examples of ta’wil in classical tafsir works of Twelver Shia in the fourth century including "Tafsir Ali Ibn ibrahim Al-Qummi", "Tafsir Furat Kufi", "Tafsir Nu’mani", and "The Commentary Attributed to Imam al-Askari".
