<jats:p>The Wisdom-Oriented Reading of the Quran This book presents a critical edition, translation, and tafsīrcentered analysis of al-Ḥikam al-ʿIrfāniyya fī Maʿānī Irshādiyya wa Ishārāt Qurʾāniyya, authored by the sixteenth-century polymath scholar and Ṣūfī ʿAlāʾ al-Dīn ʿAlī b. Ḥusām al-Dīn al-Muttaqī al- Hindī (d. 975/1567). The primary aim of the study is to demonstrate how al-Muttaqī al-Hindī interprets Qurʾānic verses within a wisdom-centered hermeneutical framework and to determine the works relationship to the tradition of ishārī (allusive/mystical) tafsīr. Situated at the intersection of the classical ishārī exegetical tradition and the Ṣūfī genre of ḥikam literature, the work possesses a concise and Qurʾān-centered character in which the verses are discussed not according to the canonical order of the muṣḥaf, but around thematic concepts such as repentance, piety, knowledge, love, and spiritual wayfaring (sulūk). The book is structured around two principal axes. In the critical editing phase, all accessible manuscript copies of the work were comparatively examined. Among these, the Süleymaniye Library manuscript, Bağdatlı Vehbi Efendi no. 757, was selected as the base manuscript due to its explicit attribution to the author, the inclusion of a colophon record, the numbering of the wisdom statements (ḥikam), and its clear script. It was determined that the extant manuscripts contain a total of 535 wisdom statements, which have been numerically arranged in the edition to facilitate ease of reference for the reader. The textual establishment was carried out in accordance with the principles and procedures outlined in the İSAM Critical Edition Guidelines published by the TDV Centre for Islamic Studies (İSAM). In the analytical section (dirāsa), the methods employed by the author in establishing the relationship between Qurʾānic verses and wisdom statements are examined from the perspective of tafsīr methodology. The analysis demonstrates that al-Muttaqī al-Hindī employs two principal methods in constructing the relationship between verse and wisdom. The first is verbal quotation (lafẓī iqtibās), in which the wording of the Qurʾānic verse is directly incorporated into the wisdom statement. The second is exegetical inference (tafsīr istidlālī), whereby ethical and spiritual conclusions are derived from the semantic implications of the verses. The symbol ,ق which the author states in the introduction is used to indicate direct quotations, reveals that this method was consciously and systematically applied throughout the text. Accordingly, although the work is not a tafsīr organized according to the classical order of the sūrahs, it may nevertheless be regarded as a concise thematic ishārī exegetical composition that rearticulates Qurʾānic verses through the language of wisdom.
