This study holds significant importance in elucidating the meaning of the Book of Allah, as it aims to extract the gems and pearls from Al-Kashani’s exegesis and examine the discussions surrounding the context of the Quran’s revelation. This endeavor ensures that Muslims remain fully alert when contemplating these profound sciences. Undoubtedly, the issues related to Quranic sciences are of utmost importance, as they serve as the pathway to understanding the Book of Allah and reflecting upon it.
The thesis concluded with a number of findings and recommendations, the most important of which is that studying the issues of Quranic sciences in exegesis is the best way to understand the Glorious Book of Allah.
