Abstinent and ascetic, he lived on what he earned by trade. He taught jurisprudence in the MuвЂ™ayyadiyya and Barquqiyya madrasas. Al-Mahalli was offered the highest judicial positions but refused them. He was known for his scrupulousness, fear of Allah, and fearlessness in upholding the truth. JALALUвЂ™D-DIN AL-MAHALLI (791-864/1389-1459) of Cairo was a versatile, scholar who excelled in jurisprudence, theology, grammar, rhetoric, and Quranic commentary. It is hoped that it will prove a valuable aid to the correct understanding of the Quranic Revelation throughout the English-speaking world. This translation gives non-Arabic speakers access to one of the seminal works of classical tafsir literature. Although it is among the shortest and simplest of the complete commentaries, it is at the same time both wide-ranging and profound. Tafsir al-Jalalayn, meaning вЂњThe Commentary of the Two JalalsвЂќ, is named after its two authors: JalaluвЂ™d-Din al-Mahalli (1389-1459), who wrote half of it, and his student, JalaluвЂ™d-Din as-Suyuti (1445-1505), one of the greatest Muslim scholars of all, who completed it after al-MahalliвЂ™s death.ДЇor half a millennium Tafsir al-Jalalayn has been considered the essential first step in the study of the meanings of the Quran by teachers and students throughout the Islamic world. With this work, for the first time, a complete translation of one of the great classical commentaries on the Holy Quran becomes available to English-speaking readers. The publication of this book is a landmark in the history of Islamic literature in English.
