A comparison study between Zamakhshari and Baidhawi's tafsir approaches (Surat Al-Baqarah example) مقارنة بين منهجي الزمخشري والبيضاوي في تفسيرهما سورة البقرة نموذجًا

This thesis contains a comparison study based on limited scientific approach involving disaggregated and arranged steps. It contains the approach of each of two prominent scholars; Al-Imam Al-Zamakhshari and Al-Imam Al-Baidhawi. Moreover, it explains the approach adopted by each of them, who belong to the School of Opinion, in their life and their exegesis through the old maxim and opinion and construing as per each of their belief and what they have cited in their exegesis as to Isra'iliyat (fabrications of the Jews, stories drawn from Christian or/and Jewish sources), the study of the abrogation of verses and the study of variant readings of Quran and their stance towards intercession and seeing the Lord of the Worlds. In addition, they have touched upon verses of legal contents. Accordingly, I have mentioned samples of each of their exegesis. Key words: Tafsir, Zamakhshari, Baidhawi, approach, the old maxim, opinion.
