Anthropomorphism and Interpretation of the Qur'an in the Theology of Al-Qasim Ibn Ibrahim: Kitab Al-Mustarshid (Islamic Philosophy, Theology, and Science)

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
The present work deals with anthropomorphism and interpretation of the Qurcan in the theology of the Zaidite imam al-Qasim ibn Ibrahim (785-860 A.D.). The edition and annotated translation of al-Qasim's epistle Kitab al-mustarshid is preceded by a detailed introduction, which treats early Islamic theology. For the abrogation of the literal meanings of Qurcanic anthropomorphic expressions, the author uses similes, idioms and phrases in Arabic, pieces of evidence from ancient Arabic poetry and rational arguments which often reflect the Mubtazilite ways of dealing with anthropomorphism. The second subject, the place of the Qurcan in al-Qasim's writings and his methods of interpretation of the Qurcan, bears directly upon his doctrines in general and upon his doctrine of anti-anthropomorphism in particular, and also contributes to the understanding of the development of Qurcanic exegesis in the first half of the ninth century.
