Qoran Shenakht

The thematic exegesis (*tafsīr mawḍūʿī*) of the Holy Quran in the thought of Āyatullāh Muḥammad Taqī Miṣbāḥ Yazdī constitutes a systematic method for extracting, organizing, and coherently presenting Quranic knowledge, possessing considerable capacity for critiquing conventional human sciences and producing Quran-based human sciences. Employing a descriptive-analytical method and focusing on the *Maʿārif al-Qurʾān* collection and other relevant works, this study examines the characteristics and components of this exegetical approach. The findings indicate that elements such as the longitudinal systematic design centered on tawḥīd (monotheism), precise and methodical refinement of the subject matter, maximal extraction of keywords, comprehensive search for relevant verses, deriving Quranic implications without reliance on presuppositions drawn from contemporary human science theories, utilization of the general and encompassing implications of the Quran, and the presentation of a macro and coherent picture of its knowledge—collectively provide a methodical package that offers the capacity to critique the epistemological, anthropological, and teleological foundations of conventional human sciences, as well as to transition from the critique phase to the production of theoretical frameworks for Quran-based human sciences. Accordingly, Āyatullāh Miṣbāḥ Yazdī's exegetical method may be regarded as an effective and methodical model for the reconstruction and production of human sciences grounded in the knowledge of the Holy Quran.
