Tafsir Ishraq Al-Ma’ani (Volume 4) - Surah 12-20

Tafsir Ishraq Al-Ma`ani, Vol. IV covers nine Qur’ānic sūrahs, from Yūsuf through Ṭā-Hā, combining prophetic narrative, theology, ethics, social teaching, law, history, and spiritual instruction.The volume begins with Sūrah Yūsuf, whose sustained narrative allows the commentary to engage family relationships, jealousy and forgiveness, chastity, imprisonment, interpretation of dreams, economic administration, political authority, and justice. Citing earlier commentary, the manuscript expressly notes that the sūrah contains lessons in tawḥīd, wisdom, law, administration, politics, and political economy. The succeeding sūrahs broaden this inquiry through themes of revelation, divine signs, responsibility, gratitude, justice, covenant, social obligations, prophetic mission, and moral order. Discussions of human relationships include family obligations, care for orphans and the poor, and mutual rights between neighbors and members of the believing community. Throughout, the commentary relates Qur’ānic teachings to classical tafsīr, Prophetic reports, Arabic linguistic analysis, fiqh, and the interpretive judgments of earlier scholars. Justice is repeatedly treated as an ethical command extending beyond convenience or reciprocity: traditions cited in the commentary include speaking justly in both anger and contentment, giving to those who withhold, and forgiving wrongs. Volume IV is especially rich for readers interested in the Qur’ān’s integration of narrative, ethical formation, governance, family responsibility, prophetic history, and juristic reflection.Suitable for scholars, students, seminaries, universities, Qur’ānic studies programs, and research libraries.
