    The knowledge of Tafsīr (exegesis) is indeed the result of ‘pondering over its verses’ by some great scholarly men often known as Mufassir. The initial instances of tafsir can be traced back to the glorious era of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) who used to read the verses to his companions and so on the knowledge has reached to our times. In sub-continent there are many scholars who have served in the field of ‘Uloom ul Qur’an. Allama Ghulām Rasool Sa‘eedi stands ahead among those intellectual par excellence who spent their entire life in the propagation of Islamic knowledge and departed this mundane world during the same blessed service.

Exegesis of Ṣaḥiḥ Muslim, Tafsīr Tibyān ul Qur’ān, Ni’mat ul Bārī and Tafsīr Tibyān ul Furqān are the manifest evidence of his encyclopedic knowledge. This article deals with the various prefaces by Allama Saeedi  written for exegesis of the Holy Qur’ān. The primary subject of the article is to highlight the structure, pattern, comprehensiveness and literary significance of these prefaces. Besides, it is also intended to present a model for the new authors. The article also brings forth the distinct feature of writing a preface especially for an exegesis.

    The charismatic personality of Prof. Dr. Muhammad Masood Ahmed had excellence in Islamic and Urdu literary services both. In Urdu literature, the significance of letters (Maktoobat) stands high. The letters of condolence reflect charisma of Prof. Masood's personality. Dr. Masood's letters are, in fact, an artifice of sad realities, coupled with the severeness and bitterness of death. He strived for seeking panacea for the aggrieved families by euphimizing this very severeness and providing a psychological relief for the effected ones. At one place they are letters of condolence while they are masterpieces of literature too and this respect is the core theme of this research paper in hand.

    The article investigates the pattern of argumentation employed in the interpretation of the Qur’ān, specially focusing on the perspective presented in Tafsīr Ziā ul Qur’ān by an eminent scholar and former Judge, Pīr Karam Shāh Al Azharī. Tafsīr Ziā ul Qur’ān is recognized for its comprehensive exploration of the Quranic verses and their connections with the narratives found in other divine scriptures.

It explores how Pīr Karam establishes links between the Quranic revelations and the stories, lessons, and moral teachings presented in earlier scriptures. Moreover, the research investigates the impact of this pattern of argumentation on the reader's understanding of the Quran, assessing how it contributes to a holistic comprehension of the interconnectedness of divine messages. The article also explores unique insights presented in earlier scriptures. By critically analyzing the exegetical methods employed, the research contributes to a deeper understanding of the intellectual framework that shapes the interpretation of these texts and their interconnectedness as presented in this renowned tafsīr

    Research and critical study of Tafsīr Mīzān ul Qur‘ān by Allāma Rahmatullah Tāriq in the light of lexical methodology of Quranic Exegesis

    The literal interpretation of the Holy Qur ‘ān is the interpretation that is made taking the dictionary into account while interpreting the Holy Qur‘ān. Without a doubt, the dictionary is an essential source of Quranic exegesis. However, the entire interpretation cannot be based only on the dictionary. Acceptable and unacceptable both aspects are found in the lexical interpretations. The satisfactory element is to present Hadiths or signs to support the description. In contrast, the unacceptable pattern of the literal interpretation is the opposite. This article is aimed to evaluate the exegesis 'Meezan ul Qur ‘ān ' by Allāma Rahmatullah Tariq from these two aspects, as he has used the dictionary repeatedly in his commentary. The paper begins with a brief yet comprehensive autobiography of Allāma Rahmatullah Tāriq, followed by an introduction to the Tafsīr Mīzan ul Qur ‘ān. Then, the article details the methodology Allāma Tāriq adopted for the exegesis of the Holy Qur ‘ān. The paper mainly deals with the various words of the Holy Qur ‘ān and their lexical discussion, which begins with the chapter-wise pattern of interpretation and examples from chapters 1 and 2 of the exegesis. The article concludes with a summary of the research and some valuable suggestions from the researchers. The series of literal interpretations started from the time of the Holy Prophetﷺ. And it continued till the present. The research presented in the article is an endeavour to present a review of Urdu commentaries which were affected by this lexical methodology

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Variations on the Author

    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    We provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
