Fatḥ al-Raḥmān fī Tafsīr al-Qurʾān, 30

Fatḥ al-Raḥmān fī Tafsīr al-Qurʾān is a Qur’anic commentary authored by the distinguished Ḥanbalī judge and historian Mujīr al-Dīn, ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Muḥammad al-ʿUlaymī al-ʿUmarī al-Maqdisī al-Ḥanbalī (928H). This tafsīr stands out as one of the few surviving works of Qur’anic exegesis authored by a Hanbali scholar, and it represents a significant contribution to the tradition.

At the Ta’sīs (Foundation) level of the Hanbali Disciples Institute, students study Juz ʿAmma from this tafsīr—an essential section of the Qur’an filled with short, potent chapters centered on the Hereafter, divine power, and spiritual awakening. Through this selection, students not only gain greater understanding of the verses they often recite in daily prayer, but also begin to appreciate how Hanbali scholars engaged with the Qur’an across disciplines—language, theology, law, and spiritual reflection—making this text a deeply enriching introduction to tafsīr within the Hanbali tradition.
