Tafsir Al-Maturidi, Ta'wilat Ahl Al-Sunna – Tafsir of the Holy Quran – Volume 29 – Juz 29

Tafsir Al-Maturidi: Volume 29 (Juz 29) is a translated and summarized edition by Dr. Yusof Mutahar of Ta’wilat Ahl al-Sunna, the Qur’anic exegesis authored by Imam Abu Mansur al-Maturidi (d. 944 CE), a foundational figure in Sunni Islamic theology and the eponym of the Maturidi school. This volume covers the 29th Juz of the Qur’an, including surahs such as al-Mulk and al-Qalam, which address themes of divine sovereignty, moral accountability, the rejection of falsehood, and the ultimate consequences of belief and disbelief. Imam al-Maturidi’s tafsir is renowned for its rationalist approach within the framework of Sunni orthodoxy, balancing theological reasoning with linguistic precision and contextual analysis. He engages with theological debates of his era, particularly with the Muʿtazila and other groups, affirming the transcendence of Allah while safeguarding the integrity of revelation. His commentary highlights how the Qur’an calls believers to reflection, sincerity, and reliance on divine guidance. This modern edition by Dr. Yusof Mutahar seeks to make al-Maturidi’s profound insights accessible to contemporary readers, offering clarity without losing the depth of the original work. It is intended for students, scholars, and general readers with an interest in Qur’anic studies, classical tafsir, and the development of Sunni theology. Together with the other volumes in this series, it provides an invaluable gateway into the intellectual and spiritual legacy of one of Islam’s greatest theologians.
