Takwin Malakat al-Tafsir: Khutawat Takwin 'Aql al-Mufassir تكوين ملكة التفسير - خطوات تكوين عقل المفسر

"Takwin Malakat al-Tafsir: Khutawat Takwin 'Aql al-Mufassir" (تكوين ملكة التفسير - خطوات تكوين عقل المفسر / The Acquisition of the Aptitude for Tafsir: Steps in Building the Intellect of the Exegete) is an influential contemporary pedagogical book within Quranic studies.

The concept of a “Malakah” (ملكة)—traditionally translated as a “faculty,” “aptitude,” or “deeply-rooted habitus”—is central to classical Islamic pedagogy, famously expounded upon by Ibn Khaldun in his Muqaddimah. It refers to the transition of a student from merely knowing about a subject to having the intuitive, highly analytical capacity to practice it.

The Core Objective: Moving Beyond Passive Reading

The book addresses a common deficiency in modern Islamic studies: students memorizing texts, definitions, and opinions of classical exegetes (Tafsir books) without actually acquiring the critical tools, mental framework, and methodology required to analyze the Quranic text themselves.
