Talkhis al-bayan fi majazat al-Quran (book)

At the crux of Majlisi’s exposition lies an intrinsic theological challenge: How does one maintain fidelity to Islamic tenets while acknowledging the inherent complexities of linguistic expression? This question reverberates through the text as it asserts the validity of metaphorical interpretations despite rigid literalism often associated with scriptural understanding. In light of this, Talkhis al-Bayan becomes a beacon for Shia adherents, underscoring the necessity of a dynamic engagement with the Quran.
