A research on the interpretation of the Almighty's saying {هو الذى خلق لكم ما فى الارض جميعا ثم استوئ الى السماء} ByMawla Muhammad bin Abdul Awal Al-Tabrizi (d. after 940 AH): A Study and investigation

Abstract

The study includes the verification of the manuscript: "A research in the interpretation of the Almighty's saying: (It is He who created for you all that is on the earth. Then He directed Himself to the heaven), by Mawla Muhammad bin Abdul Awal Al-Tabrizi (d. after 940 AH): A Study and investigation". The research aims to copy the brief message in the interpretation of the verse, and to correct it, to present the text correctly as its author intended, and to document and clarify the text, attribution and material. The most important results that I reached can be summarized as follows: Historians did not expand on the author's biography, but elaborated on mentioning the details of his life. However, two copies of the manuscript of the letter were available, which helped in verifying the text and producing it in a scientific manner, but one of them was not well printed. The author mentioned in his interpretation of this small verse a number of sciences, and in many places he excelled in the style of speech and moving between those sciences and arts from what was said or transferred. As a result, he formulated the interpretation in a rhetorical style, in which his linguistic depth is evident, with reliance on those who preceded him from the interpreters such as Al-Baydawi and Al-Nasafi in their interpretation, and explicitly quoting from them, presenting his opinion in weighting between the sayings.
