Abstract "The Sufi commentary on the Qur'̐uan by ̐uAbd al-Razz̐uaq al-K̐uash̐uan̐ui ('Ta'w̐uil̐uat al-Qur'̐uan') - long believed to have been written by Mu̐uhy̐ui al-D̐uin Ibn ̐uArabi (d. 1240) - is one of the masterpieces of Sufi exegesis. It is a complete commentary on the Qur'̐uan, commenting on every chapter but not on every verse. 'A Sufi Commentary on the Qur'̐uan' is the first translation into English of this seminal work. Though little is known about the life of ̐uAbd al-Razz̐uaq al-K̐uash̐uan̐ui (d. between 1329-35), it is accepted that he studied under Mu'ayyid al-D̐uin al-Jand̐ui, who himself had studied with ̐uSadr al-D̐uin Q̐uunaw̐ui, the stepson of Ibn ̐uArab̐ui and leading exponent of Akbarian doctrine. Despite the paucity of information on his life, K̐uash̐uan̐ui is recognised for the significant contribution he made to the school of Ibn ̐uArab̐ui ; his influence and legacy lie in his systemisation of the ideas and thoughts of Ibn ̐uArab̐ui. The central theme of K̐uash̐uan̐ui's commentary on the Qur'̐uan is gnosis or direct experiential knowledge of God : the seeker of the Divine is to engage in dedicated spiritual exertion in conformity with the Sacred Law until the heart becomes illuminated. The 'Ta'w̐uil̐uat al-Qur'̐uan' has been translated in two volumes : Volume I includes the commentary from the first Chapter, The Opening (al-F̐uati̐uha), until the eighteenth Chapter, The Cave (al-Kahf) ; while Volume II includes the commentary from Chapter nineteen, Mary (Maryam), to the end of the Qur'̐uan."--taken from back cover.
