A message related to the interpretation of verse 21 of Surat Al-Jathiya, By the linguistic scholar and commentator Shihab al-Din Ahmad ibn Umar al-Khafaji (d. 1069 AH) - Study and Investigation-

In this research, I studied one of the letters of the scholar Shihab al-Din al-Khafaji (1069 AH), related to the interpretation of verse 21 of Surat al-Jathiya. In it, he - may God have mercy on him - took care to explain the readings and ways of parsing in the verse upon which the meaning depends, and he conveyed the statements of scholars on that, and he was concerned with highlighting the rhetorical aspect of the verse. In my study, I followed the scientific method followed in investigation, and I came out with a number of results, the most important of which are: the emergence of the scientific value of this manuscript through the appearance of the personality of its author in it, and the emergence of his mastery of the science of interpretation, and the Arabic sciences of grammar, rhetoric, literature, and others, and through his investigation of the scholars' statements mentioned in the verse, and his discussion of them, and his follow-up on some of them, then his statement of his position, with skill in reasoning, and strength in argument.
