(تفسير سورة الفاتحة المسمَّى: (مفتاح الفاتحة) للشيخ حبيب بن علي بن إلياس، (ت 920 هـ). ( دراسة وتحقيق

The book Miftaah Al-Fatiha by Habeeb Bin Ali .is considered one of the finest works that went deep into this Surah and explained it in details, scrutiny and surveying. In the book, the author dealt with all explanatory aspects, both linguistically and grammatically, as well as aspects of the readings, based on their trustworthy, reasons and occasions of revelations and methods of drawing the Quran, inferring his sayings with the opinions of Hadith scholars, jurists and linguists. The author began his book with a precious introduction to the sciences of the Quran. The book also contains doctrinal issues that the author briefly went into. The author's method is based on explaining the Surah word by word, highlighting in each word the sayings of the great scholars and interpreters, derivation of its words according to linguists and the aspects of declension according to the grammarians, then he put the verses in a beautiful Sufi mould. The book is an extension of the Hadith scholars, especially the Sufis, and it contains fabricated hadiths. The author relied mainly on Al-Nasafi interpretation, and elaborated based on the important interpretations of the first six centuries. The book inclines toward the Sufism. The author's method is based on quoting and compiling, not innovation and creation. He is from an Ottoman Sufi school that believes that it is not permissible to interpret the Quran without knowledge, and there is no place for opinions, and he wrote a whole chapter regarding this issue. I collected the available written copies of the manuscript, studied them, and made the most accurate copies of the original, so I copied them with the counterparts of the other copies and recorded the differences in the margins. I referenced the hadiths, added the biography of the scholars mentioned in the book with an attribution to the sayings quoted by the author and explained the words and terms he mentioned. I presented my survey of the manuscript with a thorough study of the manuscript, the manuscript copies that I adopted and my approach in the survey, then I concluded the research by mentioning he most important results and recommendations that I reached through the work.
