A SPECIFIC STUDY OF SHAYKH ABU NAAR SIRAJ’S UNDERSTANDING OF QUR’AN FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF ‘KITAB AL-LUMA‘

Abstract

This paper aims to know about the ??f? approaches towards Qur’?n and their grip on the theological domain and spiritual insight. Contribution of Shaykh Ab? Na?r Sir?j in the shape of a treatise of ??f? world known as ‘Kit?b al-Luma‘ is a significant input for human guidance towards Allah Almighty. Divine Names and Attributes and interpretation of Qur’?nic verses are an integral part of this work. In this specific study, we analysed what methodology and patterns adopted by the author in order to compile a standard book for ??f? guidance. We came to know that Shaykh’s understanding of Qur’?n is exceptional, excellent and remarkable inference. Shaykh wants to see Lord’s devotee in the colour of God ‘?ibghatallah’ defining Qur’?nic Names as attributes (?if?t) of the friends of Allah (Awliy?’). His derived terminologies, extraction of solutions for ??f? issues and seeker’s (S?lik) difficulties, exegetical methodology, direction and supervision for the public and community as well as for special people who are the travellers towards Ultimate Reality in the light of ‘Kit?b al-Luma‘, as a whole makes it crystal clear that Allah Almighty bestowed him with the wisdom and comprehension of Holy Qur’?n at a higher level.
