Naw┐ b Siddiq Hasan Kh┐ n (1830-1890) - one of those eminent scholars of Indian subcontinent who left great impact on the Muslim world through their significant contribution to the religious sciences of Islam - was a prolific author and his imposing life in the field of writing was characteristically distinguished from other personalities. He embarked on an unprecedented writing career in Arabic, Persian, and Urdu on a wide range of religious and literary subjects. Although the dimensions of his works are spread over all the spheres like theology, Qur’┐ n, ╓ ad┘ th, Fiqh, Islamic history and culture, ethics, politics, economics, but Qur’┐ n, ╓ ad┘ th, Fiqh and S┘ rah were his favorite subjects. His contributions to these subjects had been quite remarkable and were universally recognized in academic circles from the point of richness of material and high standard of research. In this direction, this paper makes a brief analysis of his contribution to Tafs┘ r literature.
