The Quranic Legacy in the writings of Ibn Jinni

Abstract

This article examines the legacy of the one of the most prominent Arab-Muslim linguists of the 10^th century, Abu al-Fath ‘Uthman ibn Jinni. A review of the author's most outstanding works has been conducted. The analysis of the above works on the use of the Quranic text, both as a subject and as a tool for learning branches of Arabic grammar, is carried out. As an illustration of quoting the Quran in the works under consideration, specific examples are given. The purpose of the article is to focus on the interpretation of the Holy Quran through the prism of the Arabic language "التفسير اللغوي" and the presentation of Ibn Jinni to the Russian community, not only as a linguist, but also as a Mufassir. Also, the conclusion of this article is to confirm the validity of the statement that a deep study of Arabic grammar is impossible without referring to the Quranic verses, just as an in-depth understanding of Divine Revelation requires knowledge of the grammar of the Arabic language.
