Abstract

Maulana Saeed Ahmad Palanpuri's commentary "Hidayat al-Qur'an" presents a very appropriate and detailed approach to the interpretation of the Qur'an. In his commentary, he relates the Qur'anic verses to their themes and contexts, which makes the Qur'anic message relevant to various aspects of human life. His exegetical approach enables general readers to better understand the Qur'anic teachings in social, political, and moral contexts. His commentary also includes explanations of revelation, which relate the understanding of Qur'anic verses to social occasions and situations. Apart from that, He also has a special focus on contemporary adaptations in tafsir, which helps to understand contemporary issues and movements under the Qur'anic standard. Thus, "Hidayat al-Qur'an" is an important work that honors the message of the Qur'an by relating it to the occasions and times of humanity
