This is a manual of the principles and subtleties of Qur’anictafsir (commentary). In it, the author outlines the five fundamental sciences that the Qur’an contains: The science of judgements (ahkam ), reminding others of the favours of Allah, the Days of Allah and life after death, and giving particular attention to the science of polemics. He also reviews the other sciences oftafsir such as the circumstances of revelation (asbab an-nuzul ), abrogating and abrogated verses (ayaat an-nasikh wa’l-mansukh ) and the unusual words and phrases of the Qur’an (ghara’ib al-Qur’an ), before concluding the book by looking at the extraordinary and miraculous aspects of the Quran. The book ends with a final chapter on the meanings of the letters of the Arabic alphabet.
