Some Examples of Sufi Interpretations from the Tafsīr al-Tustarī

Abstract

Tafsir books have been written with the intention of facilitating a deeper understanding of the Qur'an, Allah's revelation. This understanding is sought through a process of emotional and spiritual connection with the text. In addition to the two main types of exegesis, namely dirayah (based on reason) and narration (based on transmission), there are also exegetical types. These are known as Sufi exegesis.
