Qurʾānic Objectives in Al-Marāghī’s Exegesis: An Inductive Analytical Study

Abstract

This research paper represents an attempt to examine the subject of Maqasid-based exegesis, which has become a primary focus for many scholars and researchers specializing in Islamic studies. The study centers on highlighting the efforts of al-Maraghi and his methodological grounding of the features of Maqasid-based interpretation through his exegesis of the verses of the Quran and his clarification of the intended meanings of Allah the Exalted therein. May Allah have mercy upon him, he incorporated both general and specific objectives within the course of his tafsir and systematically articulated them in a clear and accessible manner so that readers could readily benefit from his work. This reflects the considerable effort he exerted in documenting and elucidating this approach.
