Infos

The book analyzes extensively al-Zamakhshar?'s tafs?r al Kashsh?f within the framework of the Mu'tazilites' five principles: (us?l al-khamsa) of their theology. Andrew Lane in his book entitled 'A Traditional Mu'tazilite Qur'?n Commentary: The Kashsh?f of J?r All?h al-Zamakhshar?' states that al-Kashsh?f is not a Mu'tazilite tafs?r of the Qur'?n. This book has been written to prove that al-Zamakhshar?'s tafs?r is completely in accord with the Mu'tazilites' theology which is embodied in their five principles.

The book is divided into two parts. Part I comprises of al Zamakhshar?'s biography, al-Kashsh?f, and his methodology of tafs?r. Part II covers comprehensive analysis of the five principles: unity of God; justice; the promise and the threat of divine reward and punishment; the intermediate position between belief and unbelief; and enjoining what is right and forbidding what is wrong.

The book concludes that al-Zamakhshar?'s al-Kashsh?f is a Mu'tazilite tafs?r completely adhering to the Mu'tazilites' theology.
