Title

The Sources of Abd Al-Ra 'ūf's Tarjumān Al-Mustafīd

Description

Abd al-Ra’ūf’s Tarjumān al-Mustafīd, a Malay tafsir (Qur'anic commentary), draws heavily from earlier Arabic sources, particularly the works of al-Baydawi and al-Khazin. By adapting these texts into Malay, Abd al-Ra’ūf made Islamic teachings more accessible to local audiences. His work reflects both deep religious scholarship and a desire to spread Islamic knowledge within the cultural context of the Malay world.
