The Tradition of Thematic Interpretation in Pakistan: A Special Study of Abdul Rauf Malik's "Mazāmīn-e-Qur’ān"

Abstract

Abstract

Thematic interpretation of the Holy Quran is a new interpretative approach in the light of Islamic teachings, which encompasses numerous benefits. Among these, the most significant advantage is facilitating understanding of the Quran for the general populace. Through this approach, comprehending the Quran becomes easier. Considering the importance of this approach, scholars have been accumulating a wealth of knowledge in their respective styles since ancient times. However, in the present era, numerous books have been written on this subject separately. Undoubtedly, the efforts of contemporary Arab researchers in this field are commendable. Many scholars in Pakistan have also showcased their greatness, either by writing brief or lengthy books, thereby demonstrating their capabilities for Quranic comprehension. Among these, "Mazameen-e-Quran" stands out as a concise yet comprehensive text. It presents various Quranic topics with great importance, in an easy and simple manner. Although this book has presented the Quranic topics with great effort and diligence, it has not been able to maintain its style consistently in many places, which has led to considerable criticism. Many areas requiring detailed explanation have not been addressed as per the demand, as highlighted in the article.
