Al-Kashshaaf
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Al-Kashshaaf 'an Haqa'iq at-Tanzil, popularly known as Al-Kashshaaf (Arabic: ٱلْكَشَّاف, romanized: al-Kaššāf, lit. 'the Revealer') is a seminal tafsir (commentary on the Qur'an) by Al-Zamakhshari written in the 12th century. Considered a primary source by major scholars, it is famous for its deep linguistic analysis, demonstrations of the supremacy of declamation of the Qur'an, and the representation of the method the Qur'an uses to convey meaning using literary elements and figurative speech. However, it is criticized for the inclusion of Muʿtazilah philosophical views.[1]
