Özet:

In this article, it is discussed to what extent Kuseyri's tafsir Letâ'ifu'l-işarât reflects the qualities of scientific tafsir. So much so that while the commentators of the classical period gave a limited place to the interpretation of the kevnî/cosmological verses, the commentators of the later period gave a wider place to the scientific commentary. Many schools of tafsir have emerged in order to understand and interpret the Qur'an. One of them is the school of scientific tafsir. Scientific tafsir deals with the cosmological verses in the Qur'an and interprets the verses in question in line with the scientific data of the age. Cosmological verses, on the other hand, are a group of verses that refer to the creation and functioning of the universe. At the same time, these are the verses pointing to the existence and oneness of Allah. For this reason, commentators have interpreted the verses in question in various ways and have tried to reach a conclusion on this issue. One of these commentators is Abdülkerim Kuşeyrî. Kuseyrî, who is a Sufi commentator, interpreted the cosmological verses firstly in an extrinsic and then in an ishari style in his tafsir Letâ'ifu'l-işârât. In addition, his literal interpretation of the cosmological verses is an interpretation in accordance with the understanding of scientific tafsir. On the other hand, his interpretation of the aforementioned verses in the ishari sense reflects the ishari interpretation style. Therefore, in this study, to what extent does Kuseyrî's tafsir Letâ'ifu'l-işârât reflect its qualification as a scholarly tafsir? How and with what method are the cosmological verses interpreted in this commentary? In the interpretation of the cosmolaic verses, should the apparent meaning or the ishari meaning come to the fore? It is aimed to answer questions such as. In this context, first of all, Kuşeyrî's life, works and briefly his method in tafsir are discussed. Afterwards, the definition, nature and development of scientific tafsir are mentioned. Finally, the phenomenal/cosmological issues such as the creation and functioning of the sky, earth, celestial bodies, rain, wind, mountains, night and day have been handled and examined in the Kuseyri exegesis.
