Analysis of the role of Quranic interpretive works in Islamic culture and civilization(Case study of late Safavid commentators buried in Isfahan Takht-e-Foolad)

Abstract

Due to the high position of the Qur'an among Muslims as a source of inspiration and the basis for the formation of Islamic civilization in one direction and in another existence of Takht-e-Foolad Cemetery as the second largest Shiite cemetery (the second Wadi al-Salam); Unfortunately, no proper research has been done on the Qur'anic interpretive works of the thinkers buried in this holy place. The present article, considering this concern and in a descriptive-analytical manner based on search and exploration in library catalogs and with the aim of examining and representing some Quranic works and abandoned interpretations of the elders buried in the Takht-e-Foolad in the late Safavid era, is trying to make up for some of this shortcoming. The results of this study show that many works in the field of interpretation of the Qur'an by these scientists are available in libraries and scientific centers in manuscript form that it has not been published scientifically yet, and perhaps by doing so, a fundamental step will be taken in the service of the history of the interpretation of the Qur'an and to provide conditions for acquaintance with the interpretive views of the scientists of this period; Also, the prominent Quranic figures of Isfahan who are buried in Takht-e-Foolad, should be introduced more than before.
