Original Title: Jawāhir al-Tafsīr: tafsīrī adabī, ʿirfānī va ḥurūfī
A literary, mystical, and letter-based Qurʾanic commentary by Mullā Ḥusayn Vāʿiẓ Kāshifī Sabzavārī, focusing on Qurʾanic sciences and an in-depth interpretation of Sūrat al-Fātiḥa.
This work is one of the most important Qurʾanic commentaries by Mullā Ḥusayn Kāshifī, a leading scholar of late Timurid Khurāsān. Written in an ornate and rhymed prose style, the book combines literary analysis, mystical interpretation, and letter-based (ḥurūfī) approaches. It includes an introduction to Qurʾanic sciences and a detailed commentary on Sūrat al-Fātiḥa. The work is notable for its use of Persian poetry and proverbs, and it is unique among Persian tafsīrs for its systematic use of numerical and letter symbolism. Kāshifī is also known for works such as Mawāhib-i ʿAliyya, Anvār-i Suhaylī, Rawżat al-Shuhadāʾ, Makhzan al-Inshāʾ, and Akhlaq-i Muḥsinī.
