Within this approach, his book “Knowledge
of the Qur’an” came as a clear and profound piece of knowledge, free of any
ambiguity, through which he tried to provide an objective interpretation of the
Holy Qur’an, based on several Qur’anic, rational, and philosophical data, without
forgetting the historical data and the reasons for the revelation. Perhaps, he
benefited in this approach from the style and interpretive approach of his late
teacher, Mr. Mohammad Hussein Tabatabai, the author of «Tafsir Al-Mizan». In
his interpretations of the Qur’an collected in this book, Motahhari was able to
remove many of the intellectual and cognitive ambiguities that stood as obstacle
in the way of the belief of many young generations in the Qur’an and Islam,
especially with the dominance and tyranny of leftist and liberal ideologies over
many of our Islamic sites. The martyr Motahhari devoted important sections of
his book to respond to many of these suspicions and destructive ideas, and to
highlight the true image of the real Islam, which was mentioned in the Qur›an
and sent to Prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him), and related to reason and
humanity.
