Ibn Walid al-Qummi

The corpus of Ibn Walid al-Qummi’s work includes notable texts that reflect his theological dispositions and exegetical methods. One of his most influential treatises is a commentary on the Qur’an, wherein he integrates traditional narratives with rational analysis. His approach often juxtaposes the interpretations held by the Sunni schools, presenting a persuasive case for the importance of adhering to the teachings of the Ahl al-Bayt.

In these commentaries, al-Qummi systematically elucidates verses of the Qur’an through the lens of Shia understanding. His reliance on hadith from the Imams provides a foundation for his interpretations, contributing to a distinct Shia exegesis that emphasizes the prophetic lineage and the inherent authority vested in the Imams as interpreters of divine will.
