AuthorMuḥammad bin Maḥmūd bin Muḥammad al-Samarqandī
DescriptionThrough this didactic poem, the author provides a comprehensive exegesis of Sūrah al-Fātiḥah, uniquely synthesizing the phonetic articulation of its letters (makhārij al-ḥurūf) with an exploration of its profound hermeneutical dimensions. The poem examines the precise points of articulation for each letter within the sacred chapter, linking correct pronunciation to deeper spiritual interpretation. This integration of phonetics and exegesis reflects a methodological approach in which outward recitation and inward meaning are treated as inseparable. For researchers, this work offers a distinctive contribution to the Qur’anic sciences, demonstrating how the physical production of sacred sound through proper articulation (tajwīd) opens access to esoteric layers of understanding. The poetic format renders complex technical material accessible while reinforcing the unity of form and content. Persian descriptions are followed in f. 170r.
