Hassan al-Turabi follows a method which puts forward the mind in the criterions of
commentary and recommends a return to the original Arabic and takes the main idea
and meaning of “Nas” religious texts as the base in his commentary and explanation of
Sura of Fatiha which we have analyzed. According to him Qur’an should be recommented
each year for both Muslims and non-Muslims. How the Qur’an is settling with
concise explanations in the halal-illicit, law, sheria and worship; commentaries should
adopt his decleration style about this subject. According to Turabi commentaries
shouldn’t enter into Islamic Law, thelogıcal and historical controversies ın addition they
should choose an explanation method which symbolizes a distanced stance against
philosophical approaches. Turabi regards to give place to the values, thoughts and the
logıc of actions which shape the persons or cooperations negatively or positively in his
Qur’an Commentary. His method is presenting the sura with an “introduction” (Hulâsatu
Hedyi’s-Sûre) which has the abstracts of the subjects of this sura. After this he begins
explaining the verses. He explains the verses under the “Tertîlu’l-Ayat” title which he
indicated at the beginning. He abstracts his message and substance of the verses which he
indicated at the begining under “Umûmu’l-Âyât” with it’s the basic concepts. In this way
he intends to give the Qur’an’s Message shortly to who has not enought time to read.
