In this article, major Sunni exegetical works will be analysed from various perspectives.
First of all, we will concentrate on the degree (ratio) of the objectivity of the traditional
definition and classification of Sunni exegesis. And then we will deal with the question
why these exegetical works were being composed, what are the real factors and
motives behind their compilation. The notion of their uniqueness and originality will also
be discussed under a different sub-heading. Finally, we will give a brief information
about main basic sources of Sunni exegetical understanding.
