A nation can only develop and improve with its scholars and scholars and with the appreciation and admiration of these scholars and the display of their virtues and positions. Therefore, it is necessary to direct the spotlights to Imam Al-Mazhari and his methodology, who is a unique scholar and a great jurist and who also has a very strong depth in every field of religious sciences, especially in the sciences of tafsir and jurisprudence. The author’s work "Tafsir al-Maẓharī" is one of the most beautiful works written in the field of tafsir because it includes a wide variety of sciences. Some of its prominent privileges make the work different from others. This tafsir contains a lot of exquisite and valuable information that will reveal the imam’s path and method in every field of science, and there is a need for researchers who will compile and collect this scattered information and focus on the aspects of recitation. Especially when we see that the biography books are content with mentioning only his name, nicknames and the names of his works and do not give much information about his family and the environment in which he was raised, the desire for this subject has increased even more. In the study; the journeys of the imam on the path of knowledge, his teachers, students, works and his school of jurisprudence are mentioned, then his commentary is introduced and the reasons for writing this commentary are mentioned. Later, in the author’s commentary; The author’s way and method in his interpretation have been discussed, such as mentioning the reasons for revelation, addressing linguistic aspects, citing poems as evidence, taking grammatical rules as evidence, his interest in procedural issues, giving importance to the degrees of authenticity and weakness of hadiths, touching upon the main reasons for disagreement in jurisprudential issues, addressing the issues of ijma and unanimity, mentioning the lexical and terminological meanings of words, touching upon different issues in the interpretation of the verses of rulings, making choices between jurisprudential opinions, mentioning abrogated and abrogated in the verses of rulings, and again including the views of the scholars before him in the interpretation of the verses of rulings. Also, in this study, since it is related to the science of recitations, Imam Mazhari gave great importance to the science of recitations in the interpretation of verses, and he dealt with making choices between recitations and the criteria on which this choice is based. Due to the importance of the science of recitations and its relationship with the interpretation of the Quran, this study examines the life of this valuable scholar and his journey in the search for knowledge, his teachers and students; because the contributions of this great scholar to this science are great. It is necessary to define this science and explain the differences and development of recitations, the effect of recitations on interpretation and the definition of some terms. For example: The differences between recitation and narration, path and surface and the definition of some terms specific to this science, the categories of recitations in terms of acceptance of recitations and the categories of recitations in terms of interpretation and the wisdoms arising from the differences of recitations should be addressed.
