Tafsir al-Kashani by Abd al-Razaq al-Kashani, or Qashani (+1329

Tafsir al-Kashani

He was one of those who popularized the concept of wahdat al-wujud, which was developed in “Ibn Arabi’s school” and credited to Ibn Arabi, despite the fact that Ibn Arabi never used the phrase. 

Many people feel that Ibn Arabi’s theories are a combination of Qashani’s Avicennian (Ibn Sina) metaphysics and some of Ibn Arabi’s concepts. 

Qashani is easier to read than Ibn Arabi because, unlike Ibn Arabi, he made a conscious effort to make his ideas more approachable and systematic.

One of al-many Kashan’s existing compositions is his Qur’an commentary, which is one of the most widely printed. 

Despite the almost undisputed attribution of the Tawilat al-Quran to al-Kashani, this text has been repeatedly printed by modern publishing houses under the name Tafsir al-Quran al-Karim and attributed to Ibn Arabi himself; as one scholar has suggested, this strategy is likely at least in part a marketing ploy.
