Analytical study of the exegesis in context of Saints of Chisht in the light of selected interpretations

Abstract

The first source of Islamic teachings is the Holy Qur'an. The scholars of Islam have been interpreting it and make it comprehensible for the people of their eras. The Sufis (mystics) of the Chisht chain have been preaching the message of Islam in easy understandable way to the people on the basis of Holy Qur'an and Sunnah. They taught the Qur’anic verses to wide audience and used to interpret them in a traditional way. In this study, the exegeses of Mashaikh Chisht have been analyzed along with the interpretations of their books. Exegeses of Khwaja Usman Haruni, Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti, Khwaja Fariduddin Masood Chishti and Khwaja Nizamuddin Auliya are analyzed in the light of selected books of Tafsir. These books of Tafsir include Tafsir Al Tabari, Tafsir Rooh Al Maani, Tafsir Kshaf Zamakhshri, Tafsir Qurtubi, Tafsir Rooh Al Bayan, Tafsir Qashiri, Tafseer al-Razi, Tafseer Baghwi, Tafseer Bayzawi, Tafseer Dar al-Manthor, Tafseer Nasafi, Tafseer Al-Shafi'i and Tafseer Al-Mawardi. This is an analytical study. Data is gathered from secondary sources; books, articles and online sources. The study suggests that the exegetical evidences described in the appendices of Mashaikh Chisht are similar to the books of tafaseer.
