Abstract
The Jāmiʿ al-bayān ʿan taʾwīl āy al-Qurʾān (ن اجعماایبلننعاتولیایارقلا (the book of Quranic
interpretation is known as Tafsīr al-Ṭabarī. The author Imām Ṭabarī was blessed
for being skilled enough in presenting the message of Islam with different
methods. The methodology he has chosen to explain the precious hidden beads
of Holy Quran is associated with the methodology of tafsir bi-al-ma’thur (اباملوثر یسفت .(
His presented explanations are completely independent from the reflection of
his personal opinions. The statements of the early stages of Islam, the direct
transmissions by the Holy prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم (and his companions were
chiefly used to understand the meaning of Holy Quran. The jurisprudence,
linguistic, and the philosophic approaches are also referred in his tafsir.
The author has deliberately measured the strength of contradictory statements.
He has established some systematic and intellectual filters to measure the
classification of contradictory statements and to make an affective decision
upon it.
