معارف القرآن کے تناظرمیں مفتی محمد شفیع رحمہ اللہ کافقہی واستنباطی منہج : تجزياتى مطالعہ

Abstract

Almighty Allah has sent a number of prophets, some of them with
revealed scripts, others with verbal commandments, from time to time to
guide humanity not only in personal life but also in collective life. Among
all the revealed scriptures, the Holy Quran is one such perfect
commandment, whose authenticity is not a hidden secret. The holy Quran
has been translated in several worlds languages. Not only translations but
interpretations of the Quran in many world languages is a glaring reality
which is still expanding. Among all such translation works, the tafseer of
Mufti MUHAMNAD Shafi, Muariful Quran, received worldwide
popularity on account of its easy and fluent information expressed in a
logical yet understandably beautiful language. Selected verses from Soorah
AL-Fatiha to Soorah Ibrahim of the holy Quran according to the needs of
the common Muslim citizens were from this tafseer were broadcasted on
Radio Pakistan in the form of lessons from July 1954 to June 1964. The
tafseer of the remaining verses of the holy Quran were compiled after
insistence by the public and the complete tafseer, consisting of 8 volumes,
was published by Baitul Hikmat UP Deoband, India in the year 1982.
Mufti Shafi was Mufti e Azam at Darul Uloom Deoband before
independence of Pakistan and after independence he was the country's
Mufti e Azam. Since this tafseer is considered to be one of the most
authentic translations of the holy Quran, on account of its highly logical
and fact based interpretations of the verses of holy Quran, following are
some of the most important features of the inferential curriculum devised
in the Islamic jurisprudence as enunciated by Mufti Shafi.
