The International Centre for Advanced Islamic Research (ICAIR) is pleased to invite you to attend its next in-person seminar, “Legacy of Insight: The Ahl al-Bayt’s (a) Contribution to Qur’anic Exegesis”, with Dr Shaykh Mohammed Ali Ismail, to be held on Friday, March 7th, 2025, at 9:45 PM. In line with the Qur’anic spirit of the Holy Month of Ramadan, this seminar will explore the profound impact of the Ahl al-Bayt (a) on Qur’anic exegesis, highlighting their role as the paramount interpreters of the Holy Qur’an. As the infallible intellectual and spiritual heirs of Prophet Muhammad (s), their insights are pivotal for a deeper and richer understanding of the Qur’an. The session unfolds in two parts. The first establishes why the Ahl al-Bayt (a) are revered as the foremost authorities in Qur’anic interpretation, a role deeply rooted in the Qur’an and Sunna. The second part examines three primary methods by which the Ahl al-Bayt (a) have transmitted their knowledge of the Qur’an: teaching tafsīr to their companions, elucidating the exoteric and esoteric meanings of the verses, and living out the teachings of the Qur’an in their daily lives.
