 ‘Almaraqi’s Commentary’ is among the important contemporary commentaries. Its writer is Ahmad Mustafa Almaraqi, former chancellor of Al-Azhar University and he is a follower of Almenar commentary school. Relying on some principles and methods, this commentator has dealt with commentary of the Quran’s verses. Appearance validity of the book, lack of validity of individuals’ news in commentary, lack of distortion in Quran, prohibition of interpretation by personal opinions, and believing in proportionate nature of the verses are among his principles of interpretation. However he has not been bound to his own principles of interpretation in some cases such as commentary on the verses 3 and 4 of Surah Al-Fil and 243 and 259 of Al-Baqara. In some cases such as commentary of the verse 55 of Surah Al-Imran he has ignored mutawatir reports or the reports full of truth evidences by the Sunnis and he has interpreted the verses against their appearance and those narrations. To provide his commentary, he has applied various commentary methods. Some of his commentaries being under the influence of Wahhabi ideology or originated from materialistic analysis of the verses are criticized in this paper.

Keywords: Commentary Principles, Commentary Method, Commentary Orientation, Commentary by Personal Opinion, Almaraqi’s Commentary, Ahmad Mustafa Almaraqi
