Tafsir muhit al-azam (book)

Critical Engagement with Previous Commentaries

Another salient feature of Tafsir Al-Muhit Al-Azam is its critical engagement with preceding commentaries. Rather than passively offering interpretations, Abi Hayyan meticulously critiques and builds upon the works of his predecessors. This methodology fosters a dynamic dialogue between scholars across generations, elevating the discourse surrounding Qur’anic interpretation. Readers are invited to engage actively with these debates, challenging them to think critically about the evolution of Islamic thought.
