Al-Mutahhar Al-Dhamadi's Perspective in his Al-Furat Al-Namir on Al-Zamakhshari's Al-Kashaf: A study of select models

Abstract

The study seeks to explore Al-Mutahhar Al-Dhamadi's stance in his book entitled Al-Furat Al-Namir FIY TAFSIR AL-KITAB AL-MUNIR," with many quotations from Zamakhshari's book Al-Kashaf. The quotes varied between copy only, copy of the quote with some speech or opinion improvements, and copy with objection to the reported views. Investigating Al-Mutahhar's perspective on Zamakhshari's philosophy in the above books is at the core of the present study, attempting to examine Mutahhar's accuracy in copying such quotes, his perspective on them , his objections to them , and his explanation as to whether such opposition is correct or false. The study is organized into an introduction, a preview (briefly introducing both Zamakhshari and Mutahhar Dhamadi) and two sections. The first section demonstrates Mutahhar's differing perspective on Zamakhshari, while second section presents samples of the formers objections to the latter views. The study revealed that Dhamadi's objections have been already reported by other scholars, and that Zamakhshari's book is still a fertile field for further studies.
