    Study Notes

    Tafsir

    • Tafsir is derived from the Arabic word ‘تفسير’ meaning exegesis, serving to explain and interpret the Qur'anic text for clearer understanding.
    • Qur'anic verses often require detailed commentary due to their cumulative nature and complexity.
    • Tafsir encompasses three main areas: linguistics (grammar), jurisprudence (fiqh), and theology.
    • Two principal types of tafsir include:
      • Tafsir bil-al-ma’athur, based on supported texts.
      • Tafsir bil al-ra’y, based on individual opinion and understanding.
    • Historical roots trace tafsir back to Prophet Muhammad (Pbuh), who explained the Qur'an to his companions during its revelation.
    • Early companions of the Prophet took on tafsir, either relying on his comments (e.g., Abu Bakr) or their interpretations (e.g., Ibn Abbas).
    • Mastery in various disciplines (linguistics, rhetoric, theology, jurisprudence) is necessary for a person (Mufassir) to interpret the Qur'an authoritatively.
    • Proficiency in the Arabic language serves as the foundation for tafsir.

    Hadith

    • Hadith, meaning ‘حديث’ in Arabic, refers to the narration of the sayings, actions, and approvals of Prophet Muhammad (Pbuh).
    • The Qur'an emphasizes the importance of obeying both Allah and the Messenger, underscoring the need to follow his teachings for complete faith.
    • Verses highlight the consequences of disobedience to the Messenger, indicating that rejecting his guidance leads to spiritual downfall.
    • The Qur'an asserts that Prophet Muhammad’s actions are divinely ordained, positioning him as a crucial figure for understanding Islamic teachings.
    • Following the Hadith is essential for Muslims to fully comprehend the Qur'an's messages.

    Fiqh

    • Fiqh translates to ‘فقه’ in Arabic and refers to Islamic jurisprudence.
    • It involves human understanding and application of Shari'ah (Islamic law) as revealed in the Qur'an and explained through Sunnah.
    • Fiqh encompasses knowledge of legal rulings derived from primary sources and the processes for interpreting these rulings.
    • The study of fiqh is traditionally divided into:
      • Usul al-fiqh, focusing on the principles and roots of Islamic jurisprudence.
      • Furu al-fiqh, which elaborates on various branches and applications of fiqh.
