The mushkil of the Qur'an in the work of Mu'tazilite Mufassir Hâkim al-Jushami titled at-Tahzib fi't-tafsir

The subject of our thesis is mushkil al-Quran in valuable work entitled at-Tahẕîb fi't-tafsîr written by the Mu'tazilite mufassir named Hâkim al-Jushami. The word Mushkil in the dictionary means mixed, closed and hidden, opposite to each other and difficult to solve. According to terms, the mushkil is the issues about something that seem to conflict or contradict in terms of the verses of the Qur'an. In fact, there is absolutely no any conflict or contradiction in the Qur'an. Because the Qur'an is the word of Almighty Allah, so there are no contradictory verses in it. The fact that such a situation does not exist and will not exist in the Qur'an has been clearly explained in many verses, especially in the Sūrat al-Nisâʾ 4/82th verse. In our thesis, we tried to explain the mushkil verses in the Qur'an that appear at first glance and to explain the solutions of this issue with the views of Jushami. Our thesis consists of an introduction, three chapters and a conclusion. In the introduction part, we have stated the subject of the research of our thesis, its importance, purpose, method and sources. In the first part, we gave general information about Jushami, by mentioning his personality, life, scientific personality, teachers, students, brief information about the period in which he lived, the works he wrote and his famous work in the field of tafsir, named at-Tahẕîb fi't-tafsîr. In the second part of our thesis, we made an introduction about the concept of Mushkil al-Qur'an, and explained the meanings of the word and terminology, the important concepts related to the subject, the reasons for the problem and the ways to solve it, the origin of the science and the works written on it. In the third part, we examined the Müşkil issue under six sub-themes in Jushami's tafsir called at-Tahẕîb fi't-tafsîr. In addition, we have found it appropriate to benefit from other sources such as Ulum al-Qur'an and tafsir works on the same topic.
