THE SCIENCES OF THE QUR`AN` (QUR`ON ILMLARI`) BY SHAYKH MUHAMMADSODIQ MUHAMMADYUSUF

Abstract

Annotation. Shaykh Muhammadsodiq Muhammadyusuf was an eminent figure in
both Islamic scholarship in Central Asia, Russia and some parts of the Arab world and
the Islamic movement for religious freedom in Soviet Uzbekistan. While his
intellectual output covered a wide range of Islamic scholarship including Aqeedah,
hadith sciences, fiqh and tafseer, he is perhaps one of the few local scholars in Central
Asia who addressed and wrote a book on ulum al-Qur`an in Uzbek language covering
and explaining as many disciplines as come in major literatures. Qur`anic sciences as
a science which needs more scholarly attention now, his book `Qur`anic sciences` is a
major contribution written in a local language fitting the needs and levels of both
advanced students of knowledge and general public. This article illustrates the
taxonomy of `Ulum al-Qur`an` by Shaykh Muhammadsodiq Muhammadyusuf, and
gives a precise explanation of each chapter of the book.
