Introduction in the fundamentals of Tafsir

To Sheikh Al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah Prof. Dr. Mosaad Suleiman Al-Tayyar Introduction to the Second Edition Thanks and Apology Praise be to Allah who bestowed upon me His many blessings, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger, who was the cause of guiding creation, and upon his family and companions who transmitted knowledge to us, and upon those who follow their path until the Day of Judgment. To proceed: Allah granted me the ability to quickly publish the first edition of the book, until the need arose to reprint it. I prepared it for reprinting after correcting some printing errors and reorganizing it anew; I made each chapter of Sheikh Al-Islam’s introduction before its explanation, unlike the first edition where all the introduction was in one place, then I followed it with explanations of the chapters, chapter by chapter. This change was due to a request I received from someone who read the explanation of this introduction, asking that each chapter of Sheikh’s introduction be followed by its explanation. I responded to the requests because I saw the benefit of this approach, which I initially overlooked. Therefore, I apologize to the honorable readers who purchased the first edition. I also thank everyone who offered me advice, guidance, or corrections during the preparation of the second edition of the book, especially my brother Dr. Abdul Rahman bin Maadhah Al-Shahri, who was the first to read the book in its first edition and guided me to correct some errors.
