The Qurʾān is a complex text, and it has been regarded as such since the very beginning. Qurʾān interpretation ( tafsīr ) was already practiced by the Prophet's nephew ʿAbdallāh b. al-ʿAbbās, who used folklore and poetry to interpret his uncle's revelations. With the passing of time, Qurʾānic exegesis developed from a mere branch of tradition ( ḥadīth ) into a full-fledged, independent discipline. The earliest Qurʾān commentary in Persian was a translation of Abū Jaʿfar al-Ṭabarī's (d. 311/923) Jāmiʿ al-bayān ʿan taʾwīl āy al-Qurʾān , made in 345/956. The oldest surviving Twelver-Shīʿī commentary to have been composed in Persian is Abu ʼl-Futūḥ al-Rāzī's (d. 552-56/1157-61) Rawḍ al-jinān wa-rūḥ al-janān fī tafsīr al-Qurʾān . Second oldest are two commentaries by Abu ʼl-Makārim Ḥasanī (7th/13th cent.), one of them being his Daqāʾiq al-taʾwīl wa-ḥaqāʾiq al-tanzīl , whose extant part is now published in this volume. A commentary on selected verses only, its unique characteristics and broader context are explained in the editor's introduction.

In the wake of radical Islamist terrorist attacks described as jihad worldwide and in South Asia, it is imperative that there should be a book-length study of this idea in this part of the world. The focus of the study is the idea of jihad with its changing interpretations mostly those available in exegetical literature of key figures in South Asia. The hermeneutic devices used to understand the meaning of the Quranic verses and the Prophetic traditions relating to jihad will be the focus of this study. The main thrust of the study is to understand how interpretations of jihad vary. It is seen as being both defensive and aggressive by traditionalists; only defensive and mainly about moral improvement by progressive Muslims; and being insurrectionist, aggressive, eternal and justifying violence against civilians by radical Islamists. One purpose of the book is to understand how the radical interpretation came to South Asia. The book also explains how theories about jihad are influenced by the political and social circumstances of the period and how these insights feed into practice legitimizing militant movements called jihad for that period.

Die Beschäftigung mit dem Koran ist nicht nur ein zentrales Interesse muslimischer Gelehrsamkeit, sie ist auch wichtig, um die geistig-religiösen Hintergründe der verschiedenen - fundamentalistischen, liberalen, traditionellen oder modernen - Positionen im Islam zu verstehen. Dieser Band diskutiert texthermeneutische Zugänge aus verschiedenen Regionen des Islam - von der Türkei über Ägypten, Syrien, den Iran bis hin zu Indien. Die Beiträge konturieren die Koranexegese als eine Mix-and-Match-Hermeneutik, an der verschiedene Akteure mit unterschiedlichen Erkenntnisinteressen, methodischen Ansätzen und Lebenserfahrungen beteiligt sind. Auf diese Weise wird die Pluralität im islamischen Denken und Handeln als selbstverständlich erachtet und u.a. in den unterschiedlichen Zugängen zum Koran begründet. O-Ton: »Koran lesen und verstehen« - Abbas Poya im Interview beim ZDF. »Dieser Band zeigt die Breite und Vielfalt der Koranexegese und der mit ihr verbundenen Interessenlagen auf.« Oliver Neumann, www.lehrerbibliothek.de, 11 (2017)
