Abstract

Tafsīr works from the post-classical period have received limited attention in modern Islamic studies due to the widespread assumption that the scholarly works of this period were merely a rigid repetition of earlier intellectual achievements. In recent years, however, a number of studies have sought to reexamine this assumption. Within this context, this study traces the development of tafsīr methodology in post-classical tafsīr works through an analysis of their introductions. The research is based on a close reading of the introductions to thirteen tafsīr works, with particular attention to several methodological issues that reflect the most significant developments and intellectual vitality of the period. The study finds that some of these introductions demonstrate methodological developments. These developments include discussions on the disciplines required for a a mufassir, debates over the legitimacy of mystical (ishārī) tafsīr and the arguments used to justify it, as well as the emergence of new methodological issues that had not been addressed in the introductions of earlier tafsīr works. These findings contribute to reconsidering the narrative of decline in the history of tafsīr during the post-classical period. They are based on a direct reading of tafsīr introductions as primary sources for examining the development of tafsīr methodology, an approach that has largely been absent from the evidence used to support the narrative of decline.

Abstract

This article seeks to investigate the role of visual illustrations as hermeneutical tools in Ashim Khan’s “The Kingdom of God: A Fully Illustrated Commentary on Surah al-Mulk”, and to elucidate their contribution to the advancement of contemporary Qur’anic exegesis methodology. This study is significant, as existing scholarship on visual exegesis has predominantly regarded visualisation as a medium for digital communication, reception, and religious popularisation, while its function as an integral element of the interpretive process has received comparatively limited academic attention. Employing a qualitative methodology with a content analysis approach, this research examines the visual representations within Khan’s work. The analysis utilises Stuart Hall’s encoding-decoding model to explore both the manner in which the exegete encodes meaning into visual representations and the way in which readers decode and reconstruct these meanings. The findings reveal that the visual illustrations in Khan’s commentary operate not merely as aesthetic enhancements but as hermeneutical devices that encode interpretive meanings through six distinct forms of visualisation: thematic diagrams, symmetry diagrams (naẓm), concept maps, timelines, relational diagrams, and analytical tables. These visual representations aid readers in comprehending the structure, coherence, and theological message of Sūrah al-Mulk, while simultaneously guiding them towards a preferred interpretation aligned with the exegete’s intended meaning. This study contributes to the expansion of discourse on visual exegesis by demonstrating that visualisation can be positioned as a contemporary exegetical method that integrates the classical naẓm tradition with modern visual culture, thereby enriching interdisciplinary approaches within contemporary Qur’anic studies.
