الإتقان في علوم القرآن

"Al-Itqan fi Ulum al-Quran" (Mastery in the Sciences of the Qur'an), a volume by Shaykh Jalal al-Din Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi Bakr al-Suyuti (al-Suyuti), who died in 911 AH. ¹

Hajji Khalifa says it is among al-Suyuti's most useful and most nearly complete works. Al-Suyuti noted the classification of his teacher al-Kafiyaji and found it too brief, and he judged al-Balqini's "Mawaqi al-Ulum" insufficient. Then, after composing his "Al-Tahbir", he found al-Zarkashi's "Al-Burhan" to be a comprehensive book, so he resumed the work and added to it until it reached eighty kinds. He made it an introduction to his large commentary on the Qur'an, which he began and called "Majma al-Bahrayn". For most of the kinds there are separate works as well. ¹
