In episode 23 of 30 Keys to Unlock the Quran's Meaning, Dr. Shabir Ally highlights the significance of discerning between the Quranic text and its accompanying commentary, which often become intertwined in the minds of Muslims. Classical commentaries tended to rely heavily on transmitted narratives, prioritizing Hadith-based explanations and interpretations. However, this approach led to a decline in the use of reason and the uncritical acceptance of transmitted knowledge. The commentary tradition often reproduced previous works, sometimes perpetuating errors without critical evaluation. Despite variations among commentators, such as Muqatil ibn Sulayman, al-Tabari, ibn Kathir, al-Zamakhshari, and al-Razi, the tendencies of relying on transmitted reports and neglecting reason persisted. While classical commentaries are valuable, readers are encouraged to approach them critically, recognizing these tendencies to better understand the Quran. The text also discusses ongoing translation projects of classical commentaries to make them accessible to English speakers, emphasizing the importance of engaging with these works while remaining aware of their limitations.
