Abstract:

The night of Qadr is a night which The Holy Quran was sent down firstly and is more virtuous than a thousand months. Many treatises have been written about the determination of the night of power and its virtue. In fact, the value and virtue of this night has been the subject of religious literature and has been instrumental in enriching the customs of that night in social life. Surah Al-Qadr, on the other hand, includes the night of Qadr, where the Qur’an was sent down, and the features of this night. Many scholars, including Nûreddinzade, whose real name is Muslihuddin Mustafa, have written separate treatises on interpretating this surah. Nureddinzade has written works that contain primarily sufism, tafsir, kalam and hadith. There are his works and different verse (ayah) interpretations in different manuscript libraries in Turkey. Although scientific studies have been carried out about Nureddinzade’s life and some of his works, no research has been done on the Risale of the Surah Qadr. Therefore, in this study, we briefly touched on the life of the author and made an edited publication of the treatise. We tried to reveal the tafsir method and mystical notion that the author followed by exemplifying the explanation of the verse with verse, hadith, recitation, and most importantly, mystical interpretations in his treatise.
