The tafsir of al-Qur ubi is perhaps one of the most compendious of them all and is certainly among the most famous. As its title, al-Jami' li A kam al-Qur'an - The General Judgments of the Qur'an, suggests, its main focus is on the rulings and judgments to be found in the Qur'an. However, in the course of doing that, al-Qur ubi examines all the relevant sciences necessary, such as the adith pertaining to the ayahs, events in the sirah, what the Companions, their Followers and other noted people of knowledge said about the ayahs, essential aspects of Arabic etymology, syntax and usage, copiously illustrated by examples, and much more.

In this volume, the author examines the Fati ah in great depth, and then works through the first juz' (two izbs), stopping to examine linguistic matters, a kam/judgments in greater detail, covering, for example, iman, establishment of the alat, zakat, hypocrisy, the Tribe of Israel, the creation of Adam and awwa', caliphate, abrogation, and including the pivotal story of the sacrifice of the cow by the Tribe of Israel.

Abu Mu ammad ibn A mad ibn Abi Bakr ibn Far al-An ari al-Khazraji al-Andalusi Al-Qur ubi (610-11 AH/1214 CE - 671 AH/1273 CE) was born in Cordoba in Spain, but moved in 1236 to Cairo in Egypt, where he lived until his death. He was Maliki in fiqh, and although he composed other works, he is most famous for this tafsir. Prior Work
