Linguistic meaning weighting faces by the Imam Al-Shawkani through his interpretation "Fat'h Al-Kadir" (the Almighty God opening)

Abstract

The Quran has been descended in Arabic language. So, it must be taken in consideration all the possible meaning faces of understanding the Arabic language. The need to activate those faces increase whenever the interpretative speeches differ specially in the cases that have no clear direct Quran or Sunnah verses or even a clear trace from the prophet's companions. Therefore, the Imam Al-Shawkani has taken a great care of that side in his interpretation. This care appears in many places like showing all the possible faces of understanding in his meaning weighting according to the language grammar in his interpretation. I am going to expose all those possible faces in details by defining each face and giving examples from other interpreters. Then, I will illustrate each face with proofs from Al-Shawkani meaning weighting in his interpretation "Fat'h Al-Kadir".
