It is a complete commentary on the Qur’an, commenting on every chapter but not on every verse. A Sufi Commentary on the Qur’an is the first translation into English of this seminal work. The Ta’wilat al-Qur’an has been translated in two volumes. Volume I includes the commentary from the first Chapter, The Opening (al-Fatiha), until the eighteenth Chapter, The Cave (al-Kahf).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout the Author\u003cbr\u003eThough little is known about the life of ‘Abd al-Razzaq al-Kashani (d. between 1329-35 CE), it is accepted that he studied under Mu’ayyid al-Din al-Jandi, who himself had studied with Sadr al-Din Qunawi, the stepson of Ibn ‘Arabi and leading exponent of Akbarian doctrine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDespite the paucity of information on his life, Kashani is recognized for the significant contribution he made to the school of Ibn ‘Arabi; his influence and legacy lie in his systemization of the ideas and thoughts of Ibn ‘Arabi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe central theme of Kashani’s commentary on the Qur’an is gnosis or direct experiential knowledge of God: the seeker of the Divine is to engage in dedicated spiritual exertion in conformity with the Sacred Law until the heart becomes illuminated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout The Translator\u003cbr\u003eDr. Feras Hamza is the translator of Volume I of A Sufi Commentary on the Qur’an.
