Kādî Beyzâvî ve Zemahşerî’nin Fâtiha ve Bakara Sûrelerindeki Yorumlarına Molla Gürânî’nin Tenkitleri

Abstract

This work deals with Molla Gūrāni's critique (d. 813/1488) of Qādī al-Baydawi (d. 596/1200) and Zamakhshari (d. 538/1144). The Fātiha and Baqara suras in his manuscript tafsir "Ghayat al-Amānī" are chosen as the texts to examplify Molla Gūrānī's critique. His criticism is mostly related to language, qirā'a (recitation and vocalization of Qur'ānic text), conceptual meaning and disagreement in interpretations of the Qur'ānic verses in question. Gūrānī primarly criticisez Qādī due to his reputation among Ottoman scholars. Gūrānī has not only criticized Kadi and Zamahshari in the commentary of the surahs Fātiha and Baqara but also Taftazani and Kavashi. This clearly shows thah he is a well-versed scholar in researching especially in comperative analysis. In this study, our investigation is limited to, however, Zemakhsharī and Qādī. This stuyd shows that Zemakhsharī is strictly bound to Ahl al-Sunnah. Moreover, the hadith reports are considerably important for him in understanding and interpreting the Qur'ānic verses. He closely follows the interpretive traditions of early Muslim scholars, especially on the matters that Muslim scholars had an argeemnet. © 2018 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
