Quranic Verse Enumeration – A Simplified Study of Nathimat al-Zuhr
A simplified study of the didactic poem: Nathimat al-Zuhr
After having written commentaries on the didactic poems of Īhāb Fikrī and Maḥmūd ʿAli al-Sharqāwī, I started sharing these works on ʿAdd al-Fawāṣil on various social platforms and groups due to certain misconceptions and misunderstandings relating to the subject. In doing so, there were countless times whereby I was contacted by students who were either experiencing some difficulty with regard to studying or comprehending the text of the Nāṭḥimat al-Zuhr, or found its study to be tedious. After much discussions and deliberations, I was later informed that the Nāṭḥimat al-Zuhr was one of the primary texts being taught regarding ʿAdd al-Fawāṣil, in both the east and the west. Upon hearing this, in mid June 2020, I decided to compile a work extracting the gist of the text as well as simplifying its study, as opposed to writing an English commentary on it.
