Tafsir al-Qurtubi Vol. 5 Abu 'Abdullah Muhammad Al-Qurtubi

The tafs?r of al-Qur?ub? is perhaps one of the most compendious of them all and is certainly among the most famous. As its title, al-J?mi' li A?k?m al-Qur'?n - The General Judgments of the Qur'an, suggests, its main focus is on the rulings and judgments to be found in the Qur'?n. However, in the course of doing that, al-Qur?ub? examines all the relevant sciences necessary, such as the ?ad?th pertaining to the ?yahs, events in the s?rah, what the Companions, their Followers and other noted people of knowledge said about the ?yahs, essential aspects of Arabic etymology, syntax and usage, copiously illustrated by examples, and much more.




In this volume, comprising the bulk of S?rat an-Nis?' - from ?yats 23 - 176, there are many matters to do with the rights of women, marriage and divorce, marital relations and disputes and their resolution, and the laws of inheritance, but also jihad, a key ?yah on governance, hypocrisy and ?m?n, and about '?s? the son of Maryam, peace be upon him, and the People of the Book.
