Abstract

This article provides an in-depth analysis of the methodology and interpretative approach found in the classical Qur’anic exegesis al-Muḥarrar al-Wajīz by Ibn ʿAṭiyyah al-Andalusī, a prominent exegete from the classical Islamic era. The work is renowned for its comprehensive and integrative approach to understanding the Qur’anic verses, covering linguistic aspects, Arabic rhetoric (balāghah), Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh), and variant readings (qirāʾāt). This study employs a qualitative descriptive method through library research and content analysis of the structure and substance of Ibn ʿAṭiyyah’s interpretations. Furthermore, it compares his exegetical style with other classical exegetes to assess the uniqueness and methodological contributions of his tafsir. The findings indicate that Ibn ʿAṭiyyah successfully combines rigorous linguistic analysis, contextual legal reasoning, and rational argumentation in interpreting the Qur’an. This positions al-Muḥarrar al-Wajīz not only as a scholarly tafsir of high academic value but also as a crucial reference in thematic and historical Qur’anic studies. Ibn ʿAṭiyyah’s contribution enriches the Islamic intellectual tradition by synthesizing Andalusian scholarly heritage with an inclusive and deeply analytical exegetical method.
