The Leader delivered a speech at a meeting with the organizers of the International Conference on the Tasnim Tafsir, held on February 22.
During the meeting, Ayatollah Khamenei commended the distinguished figure of Ayatollah Javadi Amoli, the renowned exegete of the Holy Quran and author of the Tasnim Tafsir.
The Leader acknowledged that the seminary owes a debt of gratitude to this wise scholar for his over 40 years of dedication to research, teaching, and authoring of the Tasnim Tafsir, Khamenei.ir reported.
"Of course, Ayatollah Javadi Amoli’s endeavors in the fields of rational and transmitted sciences, as well as his jurisprudential, philosophical, and mystical works, are all significant and deserving of appreciation. However, none of them can match his work in the tafsir of the Quran," he stated.
Ayatollah Khamenei described the Tasnim Tafsir as a source of pride for both Shiite Muslims and the Hawza Elmiyeh (seminary). While discussing certain characteristics of this tafsir, the Leader remarked, "The strength of the respected exegete’s rational thinking has significantly contributed to understanding the nuances and delicate points concealed within the verses of the Quran."
The Leader underscored the importance of finalizing the Arabic translation of the Tasnim Tafsir for use in the Islamic world and expressed his gratitude and appreciation to Ayatollah Javadi Amoli and the research team involved in this Tafsir.
Tasnim Tafsir, authored by Ayatollah Javadi Amoli, is a comprehensive work compiled and written in 80 volumes. The composition of this exegesis is the result of 40 years of teaching and research by Ayatollah Javadi Amoli, in collaboration with dozens of researchers and scholars organized into research groups. It is classified among the "Quran-to-Quran tafsirs."
The author's methodology involves citing the verse or verses under consideration and examining them across four stages: "Summary of the Tafsir", "Interpretation of the Verse", "Nuances and Allusions", and "Discussion of Narrations".
