Abstract

This research study investigates the methodology, stylistic elements, and distinctive features of Tafsīr al-Bakarī, a significant contribution to classical Qur’ānic exegesis. The study explores the interpretive framework adopted by Imām Muḥammad bin Muḥammad al-Bakarī, a 10^th century prominent interpreter, examining his approaches to linguistic analysis, theological interpretations, and jurisprudential discussions. It further evaluates how he balances traditional sources with rational inquiry to address complex Qur’ānic themes. The research highlights the stylistic clarity and coherence of his work, emphasizing its scholarly depth and literary appeal. By providing a comprehensive examination of Tafsīr al-Bakarī, this study seeks to position it within the broader context of classical Islamic scholarship and underscore its relevance for contemporary exegetical studies.
