Abstract

The book Āyāt al-ʾAḥkām, compiled by Khalīl Qebleei Khoei, unlike most of Fiqh al-Quran books written based on fiqh titles, is segmented in three parts in accordance with law sections: public law, civil law, and criminal law. In the interpretation of verses, the author has not confined himself only to interpret verses known as ʾĀyāt al-ʾAḥkām, rather in some cases, he has deducted some rules from verses that were not common in his predecessors’ works. In this essay, some examples are mentioned. However, in ʾĀyāt al-ʾAḥkām Tatbīqī (comparative ʾĀyāt al-ʾAḥkām), the author has followed the traditional method of ʾĀyāt al-ʾAḥkām books and addressed all of the fiqh chapters, including ʿIbādāt and Muʿāmilāt (in the general sense), and compared opinions of Shīʿi and Sunnī jurists. Both of the author’s works are contextually evaluated as both academic and inferential, whereas the author, while expressing the opinions of the previous jurists and scholars of the past, expresses his innovative inferences from the verses. This book needs some modifications, including bringing goals at the beginning of each chapter and giving a concise list before the detailed list at the end of the chapters and adding additional readings and quizzes to assess the trainees.
