SECRETS WITHIN THE ORDER OF THE QURAN

Qatiidah (d. 118) iﬁilifeg said, “By Allah, they would ﬁnd in the Qur’é1’n that which would impede sinfulness, if only they contemplated upon it and comprehended it.” [Tafsir al-Tabari] Al-Shawkani (d. 1250) 255165 said, “Al-Suyﬁti was a major imcim, and a prolific author. He was given authorisation (ijdzah) by the major scholars of his time from different countries and towns. He excelled in the various sciences and surpassed his peers; he gained distinction and his acclaim spread far and wide. From his beneﬁcial works are his two jﬁmi‘ collections of hadith, al-Durr al-Manthﬁr and al-Itqﬁn fi ‘Ulﬁm al-Qufdn.” [Summarised from his biography in al-Badr at-Tali‘ (1/32s-335)]

The author said, “[I have aimed to produce an interesting book about a special theme]—-that being the rationale of the order of the sﬁrahs-—so it can help and save the time of one who is after such knowledge. Most of its contents are from my own thoughts, contemplation and insights since only a few people have touched upon this topic. I have explicitly given reference to that which I used from others, and I would only mention that which is good and would not make me subiect to criticism.”
