Al-Tasnim - an Exegesis of the Qur'an: Story of Adam (Part 1)

The story of Ādam (a.s.) is a profound narrative that explores the essence of human existence, the nature of divine knowledge, and the fundamental purpose of creation. This book, The Story of Ādam: Part 1, examines the depth of this Qur’anic account as depicted in verses 2:30-33 of the Holy Qur’an, based on the insightful commentary of Āyatullāh Jawādī Āmulī in his exegetical work, Tafsir al-Tasnīm. These verses are not merely a historical recount; they hold within them layers of theological, philosophical, and ethical insights that continue to resonate across time and space.

Tafsīr al-Tasnīm, a masterpiece of Islamic scholarship, offers a comprehensive and intricate analysis of the Qur'an, rooted in the rich traditions of Shi'a theology and philosophy. Ayatollah Jawādī Āmulī, with his profound wisdom and extensive knowledge, invites us into a world where every verse and chapter of the Qur'an is examined through the lens of esoteric and exoteric understanding, seamlessly blending the outer and inner dimensions of Islam's holy scripture.
