Consensus According to Al-Alusi in Surah Az-Zukhruf

Summary: Al-Alusi’s Biography and His Consensus in the Interpretation of Surah Al-Zukhruf      This study explores the biography of Mahmoud Shukri Al-Alusi (1217 AH - 1270 AH) and his tafsir "Ruh al-Ma'ani", which combines both traditional narrations and rational analysis, earning praise from scholars. The research also examines his reported consensus in the interpretation of Surah Al-Zukhruf, analyzing the accuracy of these claims by comparing them with other Quranic commentators.       Three key interpretative issues were studied: following ancestors without scrutiny, honoring magicians, and leaving them in misguidance until Judgment Day. The study found that Al-Alusi’s views align with the majority of scholars, including Al-Tabari, Al-Razi, and others. His tafsir remains an important reference due to its encyclopedic and analytical approach.
