التفسري اإلشاري والكالمي يف حاشية على ّ َّسيالكويت ال تفسري القاضي

Sheikh Sialkoti emerged as a distinguished scholar of his time, excelling in various branches of knowledge and earning the favor of the ruler of his era, who honored him and provided the means to support his scholarly pursuits. Sheikh Sialkoti devoted significant attention to Al-Baydawi's Tafsir al-Qadi, writing his renowned commentary on it. However, for reasons unknown to the researcher, he did not complete the commentary. In his annotations, Sheikh Sialkoti addressed a comprehensive array of disciplines, including linguistics, syntax, morphology, rhetoric, theology, jurisprudence, mystical exegesis (ishari), and Sufism. This research focuses on two specific aspects of Sialkoti's commentary: the ishari (mystical exegesis) aspect and the theological aspect. The researcher begins by defining ishari exegesis, discussing the scholars' perspectives on it, the evidence provided by its proponents, the conditions for its acceptance, its most notable works, the methodologies of its exegetes, and the means of deriving ishari meanings. The study then introduces Sheikh Sialkoti, detailing his lineage, birth, upbringing, era, relationship with the ruler, death, school of thought, scholarly contributions, mentors, students, peers, and his historical context. The researcher then studied the theologica interpretation in terms of its definition, history, and effects. The study presents the ishari issues addressed by Sialkoti, examining his methodology and opinions. The researcher observes that Sialkoti sometimes offered detailed commentary on certain mystical indications, while at other times he was concise or refrained from commenting altogether. The study highlights ishari indications related to God's attributes and names, the path to knowing and loving God, those concerning the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), as well as cosmological and self-related indications. For each of these, the research discusses Sialkoti's perspectives and methodology. Regarding the theological aspect, the researcher investigates Sialkoti's views and rebuttals of dissenting groups such as the Mu'tazila, Karramiyya, and Zahiriya, as well as his defense of the Sunni orthodoxy (Ahl alSunnah wa al-Jama'ah). This section explores theological terminology, various sects and schools of thought, his stance on them, issues concerning prophethood, eschatology, and the unseen realms.
