Description
It was Miss J. Watson of India Office library who drew author’s attention in Dec. 1963 to a mystical commentary from Qushairi pen which exists in the Arabic collection of the India Office library. Subsequently he read the following remark by Professor A.J. Arberry in his book: Sufism, ‘al-Qushairi also wrote a commentary on the Quran which has similarly not been studied.’ In 1964 he agreed that the author should start research with him on the subject of Tafsir in Sufi literature, with particular reference to Qushairi.’ When the author started his work, he found it necessary to survey the science of Tafsir and its development from the earliest days in order to assess the real value of Qushairi commentary. In doing this he tried to be objective. The opinion appearing in the book therefore may appear alye to some readers.
This study was published in parts in the Islamic Quarterly (London) in its issues of June 1968 and March 1969. Its second part ‘Abu al- Qasim al-Qushayri As a Theologian and Commentator’ was also published by the Islamic Culture Centre (London) in a book form. The present edition is an extensive revision of the first edition.
