al-Siraj fi Bayan Gharib al-Quran
السِّرَاجُ فِي بَيَانِ غَرِيبِ الْقُرْآنِ
al-Siraj fi Bayan Gharib al-Quran (The Lamp in the Clarification of the Obscure Vocabulary of the Quran) by Muhammad b. Abd al-Aziz al-Khadiri is a contemporary Arabic reference work in the classical gharib al-Quran genre, which specializes in explaining the rare, difficult, and obscure vocabulary of the Quran. Rather than a comprehensive tafsir, its objective is to provide clear and accessible explanations of unusual Quranic terms that are not immediately transparent to the modern Arabic reader, drawing on classical lexicography and the classical gharib literature. The work is concise and organized for easy reference. Khadiri is a contemporary Saudi scholar with an Athari Sunni orientation. The work is moderately popular as a supplementary resource for students and general readers seeking to understand unfamiliar Quranic vocabulary. More...
