Excellence in the sciences of the Quran

Authorship / Jalal al-Din al-Suyuti The book Al-Itqan in the sciences of the Qur'an is one of the most important and oldest references written in the research of the sciences of the Qur'an. The author begins the book with an introduction discussing the virtue and greatness of the Qur'an, and his amazement at the lack of writings by previous scholars in the sciences of the Qur'an. This book is one of the most important references consulted for understanding the Qur'an. It gathers the sciences of the Qur'an, then mentions the sayings of previous scholars in the specific chapters of each science, and in each chapter, it lists the classified books in that field, and presents the opinions and sayings of scholars in their appropriate contexts. This book is distinguished by its comprehensiveness and inclusiveness, as Imam al-Suyuti paid attention to refining and polishing the book, then made it an introduction to his tafsir, which he wrote, namely "Majma' al-Bahrain" and "Muntaha al-Badrain." The book Al-Itqan in the sciences of the Qur'an includes several topics, including: reasons for revelation, locations of revelation, incidents and events related to the revelation of verses, narrations of the Qur'an and their chains of transmission, readings, rules of Tajweed, words of the Qur'an, abrogating and abrogated verses, the general and detailed verses, rulings of the Qur'an, and others. It also discusses the conditions of the verses, and each chapter is represented by verses, with conditions listed. Number of pages / Shamua
