A Commentator on Avicenna in Ottoman Thought in 18th Century: Abu Saîd KHâdimî and His Hashiya of the Surah Ikhlas
Journal Title: Dini Araştırmalar -Altı Aylık Bilimsel Dergi- - Year 2015, Vol 18, Issue 47
Abstract
The Surah Ikhlas bears the characteristic of being the only surah that deals with the existence and unity of Allah. Many commentaries (tafāsir) of differing types have been written on this short but deeply meaningful surah. Avicenna wrote a short tafsir offering a concrete example of efforts to reconcile religion and philosophy. At the same time, with this tafsir he has been the initiator of a tradition of philosophical in- terpretation of the Surah Ikhlas. Many full commentaries (suruh) and marginal note commentaries (hawashin) on this tafsir have been written by various scholars who ref- lect on the understanding of existence and unity set out by Avicenna. In this article the hashiya on this tafsir by Ebû Saîd Hâdimî are analyzed. Hâdimî was a commentator on the work of Imam Birgivî who was close to the idea of a kind of Salaf in the Otto- man Empire. Avicenna’s and Hâdimî’s ideas of being, creation and unity are analyzed here according to Hâdimî’s hashiya. Although Hâdimî wrote this hashiya in a period when the philosophical thought was ignored, this hashiya shows that Hâdimî attached importance to philosophical thought. Here we see that Hâdimî follows closly the phi- losophical thought of Avicenna considering the idea of being, unity and creation.
