The Critical Edition of Tafsīr Sūra al-Tīn by Aģmad b. Idrīs al-Fāsī

Abstract

is paper tackles a critical edition of Tafsīr Sūra al-Tīn written by Aģmad b. Idris

(d. 1253/1837). Aģmad b. Idris lived in the Ottoman period and studied religious

sciences from the scholars of the era. He joined different sūfi tariqas - including

Shādhiliyya, Khiēiriyya, Khalwatiyya - and studied with the sheikhs Abū al-Qāsim

al-Wazīr, ‘Abd al-Wahhāb al-Šāzī and Ģasan al-Qinā‘ī. He le behind many books

and students. One of his works that has reached us is Tafsīr Sūra al-Tīn.

ere are two copies of this epistle in Turkey's libraries. e first is in the National

Library in Ankara and the second is in the collection of Osman Huldi Ozturkler

in the Suleymaniya Library. e critical edition performed in this study is carried

out by utilizing these two copies, which do not differ from each other significantly.

In terms of content, it is possible to split the writing into two parts: e

beginning which includes an interpretation of verses 1 to 3, is based on a literal

understanding of Qur’an. e second part, which begins with verse 4, focuses on

ish’ārī (esoteric) interpretation. In the first three verses, Aģmad b. Idrīs appears to

have expressed only the opinions of former commentators, whereas he embraces

the Sufi methodology in other verses. In this epistle, Aģmad b. Idrīs deals with a

number of important issues in Sufi thought, including the differences between

reason and feeling (dhawq) as a source of knowledge, the essence and the form of

entities, the manifestation of God in the form of entities, the relationship between

the manifestation of God and recognition of the truth of things, the creation of

mankind in the best form and the reasons for reducing him to the lowest of low.
