• W339863944 abstract "Mohammed Rustom. The Triumph of Mercy: Philosophy and Scripture in Mulla Sadra; Albany, NY: State University of New York Press, 2012 * xii+210 pp. * 978-1438443416. The Triumph of Mercy: Philosophy and Scripture in Mulla Sadra is a critical study of Sadra's Tafsir Surat al-fatiha. The text guides the reader through Sadra's oeuvre, bringing each exegetical concern from the Tafsir into conversation with the philosophical and spiritual lexicon established in the fuller range of Sadra's writing. The text consists of seven chapters which roughly follow the structure of the Tafsir, notes, a bibliography, three indexes, and three appendices in which Rustom provides translations from the Mafatih al-ghayb, the Tafsir, and those sections Sadra utilized from Ibn 'Arabl's Futuhat al-makkiyya. While the smooth and accessible style of the text make it a great introduction to Sadra's thought, Rustom's manner of weaving the various texts by Sadra and ideas from the Islamic intellectual tradition into a single discussion make this an excellent scholarly resource for specialists in Islamic thought. The primary concern of the monograph is to show how Sadra explained the Qur'anic principle of God's mercy and its precedence over His wrath by relating his philosophical and scriptural thought. Rustom emphasizes how several issues related to the principle of divine mercy are only fully addressed by Sadra in his Tafsir Surat al-fatiha, where he grapples with related questions such as: What is the nature of praise and how does it relate to being? Is hell an eternal abode or will it come to an end? If hell is eternal, is the suffering experienced in hell eternal? Can hell be a source of felicity? In the first chapter (Qur'anic Hermeneutics), Rustom outlines Sadra's approach to scriptural exegesis as it is defined in his Mafatih. Sadra's mode of exegesis is grounded in his ontology. For Sadra, being is a single graded reality which has both inwardly hidden and outwardly apparent modes. Although in itself being is inward and unified, it becomes outwardly apparent and diversified when it is instantiated in particular delimited modes. The same can be said about the Qur'an and human beings, each of which has various grades or levels. On Sadra's view, the Qur'an is a synonym of being or a mode of the divine command Be! and an exegete's access to its meanings is determined by the extent to which he has penetrated the inwardly hidden dimensions of their own being. For this reason, Sadra believes the scriptural exegete is only qualified to perform interpretation (ta'wil) when he has undergone a disciplined spiritual purification which grants him access to the inner meaning of the scripture. The second chapter (Formal Considerations) examines the sources of Sadra's Tafsir, its structure, and its content. Rustom begins with a discussion of Sadra's influences that exposes the complexity of his thought and its close relationship to Ibn 'ArabI and his school. Rustom then presents the Qur'anic exegetes, schools of Hadith literature, theologians, philosophers, Sufis, and poets who were most formative of Sadra as a thinker and shows where they appear in his writing. We learn interesting facts about Sadra, like how despite being a ShI'i himself, Sadra draws more heavily from SunnI Hadith literature. Rustom finds the numerous references to Ibn 'ArabI and his school and Sadra's tendency to paraphrases their ideas without any reference a strong evidence of their integration within the structure of Sadra's thought. Then, Rustom briefly outlines the issues at stake in each of the eight chapters of Sadra's Tafsir Surat al-fatiha. Sadra claims the Fatiha contains the essential message of the entire Qur'an (55), a major reason why the author has chosen to focus on this particular Tafsir. The third chapter (Metaphysics) explains why Sadra held this view and how he considered the relationship between man and God in terms of the scriptural teachings of the Origin, path of return, and final Return to God. …" @default.
