Abstract

Qazi Nurullah Shustari has a special scientific status and spiritual place and has specialized in more than twenty sciences among intellectual and narrative sciences, including the interpretation of the Holy Qur’an. One of the topics that is discussed about the interpretation of the Qur'an is the methodology of interpretation and the method of the interpreter, which is considered by Qur'anic scholars. One of the remarkable and important interpretations in the 11th century AH is the book Kashf al-Qina’a Amma Waqa’a fi Tafsir al-Baydawi min Khalal va Zalal. The annotation of this book done by Qazi Nurullah Shustari for Baydawi interperation (Anwar al-Tanzil va Asrar al-Ta’awil) is from Surah Fatihah until Surah Ma’idah. In this study, a descriptive-analytical method has been used to examine the method and interpretive tendency of this commentator, although his tendency to theology has caused him to use the method of interpreting the Qur'an through reason more. But there are examples of the method of interpreting the Qur'an through the Qur'an, and the Qur'an to the Sunnah in his interpretation. Therefore, it can be said that his method of interpretation is a relatively comprehensive method in interpreting the Holy Qur’an.
