One of the most important works in Qur’anic exegesis that employs a thematic approach is Tafsîr Nafahât al-Qur’ân Uslûb Jadîd fî al-Tafsîr al-Maudlû’î li al-Qur’ân al-Karîm, authored by Nâsher Makârem al-Syîrâzî. The study seeks to elucidate the methodology of exegesis employed in the work. Thematic approach of the Qur’an (tafsir al-maudlû’î) has developed significantly and showed diverse models in terms of the pattern of interpretation and theme. The author of the work, al-Syîrâzî, offers a new approach in thematic exegesis, which significantly differs from that introduced by al- Farmâwî, whose model of interpretation has so far dominated the field. Al-Syîrâzî thus opens pathways for reform of Qur’anic exegesis. His approach is built on the Syi’i theological doctrine of the five principles, namely knowing God and Oneness of God, Prophethood, Leadership, Eschatology and Justice. The adoption of these principles in the work of al-Syîrâzî has created a distinctive nuance of Qur’anic exegesis, which is rational and comprehensive.
