Tafsir Ishraq Al-Ma'ani (Volume 5) - Surah 21-28

Tafsir Ishraq Al-Ma`ani, Vol. V presents commentary on S¿rahs al-Anbiy¿', al-¿ajj, al-Mu'min¿n, al-N¿r, al-Furq¿n, al-Shu¿ar¿', al-Naml, and al-Qää. This wide-ranging volume moves through the histories of the Prophets, eschatological warning, pilgrimage, worship, personal morality, family and social law, modesty, chastity, public ethics, prophetic mission, and the exercise of authority. S¿rah al-¿ajj gives the volume a substantial ritual and juristic dimension. The commentary examines the pilgrimage and its associated legal questions, including classical disagreement concerning property and residence in Makkah during the pilgrimage season. It also recounts the proclamation of pilgrimage associated with Ibr¿h¿m and the Sacred House. S¿rah al-N¿r introduces extensive material concerning family and social ethics, chastity, evidence, personal honor, household conduct, privacy, dress, and modesty. The manuscript preserves narratives illustrating the moral seriousness attached to modest conduct even under conditions of personal grief. Across al-Anbiy¿', al-Shu¿ar¿', al-Naml, and al-Qää, the volume also develops a broad historical panorama of revelation, prophetic authority, rejection and acceptance, justice, kingship, social corruption, and divine judgment. As elsewhere in Ishraq Al-Ma`ani, Qur'¿nic exposition is enriched by ¿ad¿th, early interpretation, classical tafs¿r, linguistic analysis, fiqh, and historical comparison. An important volume for students of tafs¿r, Islamic law, ritual studies, ethics, prophetic history, and classical Islamic intellectual tradition.
