Fadlallah ... the genius of the kinetic Quranic discourse
The late Sayyid Muhammad Husayn Fadlallah moved to God Almighty’s mercy ten years ago, but what he presented “continues to influence and interact” and we are talking here about his project and the entirety of its Quranic cultural production that seeks to create a civilized state and a true Islamic resurgence that wants "Islam" to be The leader of society and the ideals of the individual within the line of Quranic guidance for the straight path committed to the prohibitions and divine instructions as a determinant and controller for the movement of the individual in the line of piety, which does not include the individual human only, but the society as a whole, and the launch of the Qur’an discourse in order for it to be the guideline for the movement and the constituent of any human and community march that seeks the prosperity.
It is true that there were many attempts to suggest other personalities before the presence of Mr. Fadlallah, and also there were with him at the same time as his personal presence in the vast Islamic arena, but what is different is that what he did was not within a constructive state and slogans, but within a Quranic culture seeking movement on the ground. In order to "Islamize" it within the "tools" of reality itself and to adhere to objectivity and reasons away from fantasies from here and wishes from there without sitting on the ground of truth away from dreams.
Because the reality of life is movement and implementation and what touches the lives of people and strikes the "chord" of their feelings and is related to their daily life and the making of their future is what will make the connection with the Islamic Quranic thought if the aroma is correct, so what is applicable without "calcification" in ready-made molds and The stagnation is what will live and continue, as reality is changing, but within the authenticity of the sacred principle and the change of perception within the modern modern reading controlled by the sacred text itself to prevent the march from deviation or vibration, as well as linking it to the spiritual side, and here is what the late Mr. Muhammad Hussein Fadlallah succeeded in presenting in His conscious reading of the Qur’anic text and its understanding in the sphere of life and application, and taking into account the objective conditions of the individual, social, economic, political and security reality away from the fantasies, illusions and theories with which any thought and "understanding" of the sacred text fall away from the ability to operate. .
All this contributed to the distinction of “Tafseer from the Inspiration of the Qur’an”, which is a Quranic encyclopedia compiled by the late Fadlallah.
The reference was made by Mr. Muhammad Hussein Fadlallah, and it was shortened by Professor Muhammad Khalil Tarraf.
Tarraf said in the introduction to this book:
The idea for this book began about 5 years ago.
He added that at a time when the second edition of the interpretation of the revelation of the Qur’an had been completely exhausted. Before his death, Sayyid Muhammad Husayn Fadlallah worked on revising the interpretation, adding about two thousand pages.
He pointed out that the third edition of the book was issued later in twenty volumes, and since the request was remarkable and intense on the kinetic interpretation of the master, and the majority of those requesting it were the youth category, I found it necessary to have a brief explanation that could quench their thirst in order to know their thirst. the wise. There is no need for the ordinary reader or the researcher of some of the meanings of vocabulary, or of the verses of evidence, to acquire long volumes, and bother searching the pages and between the lines to extract the meaning of a verse here and there. Especially when the master dives into exegesis and reviews verses, discusses narrations, responding some of them and adopts some others, or when he enters into the discussion of complex interpretive opinions that are not of interest to the ordinary non-specialist reader.
We thank Professor Muhammad Khalil Tarraf for his efforts and with him the staff of the Islamic Cultural Center, we hope that the students of kinetic Qur’anic knowledge will benefit from such an important publication and book in strengthening their culture and consolidating their awareness and insight in the line of restoring the nation in the line of making civilization and exploding individual and societal creativity in a way that creates happiness for the individual. And revival of society.
