Tafsir Al-Mizan Volume 27

Volume twenty-seven presents an insightful commentary on Sūrah Maryam (Chapter 19) and Sūrah Ṭā Hā (Chapter 20). This volume is characterized by profound discussions on prophethood, divine mercy, and the trials and triumphs of faith. The commentary begins with Sūrah Maryam, which recounts the stories of several prophets and their submission to God. ʿAllāmah elaborates on the accounts of Prophet Zakariyyā and the miraculous birth of Yaḥyā, emphasizing themes of divine mercy and the fulfillment of prayers. The story of Maryam and the miraculous birth of Jesus is examined in detail, particularly focusing on the manifestation of divine power and the Qurʾānic refutation of attributing divinity to Jesus. This chapter emphasizes the universality of divine guidance and the continuity of the prophetic mission. The narrative transitions to the stories of Abraham, Ishmael, and other prophets, highlighting their steadfastness in monotheism and rejection of idolatry. ʿAllāmah reflects on the lessons derived from their lives, including the importance of patience, reliance on God, and the consequences of moral deviation. He also explores the eschatological themes in the chapter, such as the depiction of the Day of Judgment and the ultimate fate of believers and disbelievers.
