Abstract



This article deals with the comparative interpretation of the verses of the creation of man in Surah Sajdah in two authoritative commentaries, "Al-Mizan" by Allama Tabataba'i and "Ruh al-Ma'ani" by Alosi, and focuses on examining the interpretive approaches of these two great commentators to the verses of the creation of man. In this study, an attempt has been made to clarify the differences and similarities of the philosophical and anthropological approaches of these two prominent commentaries by comparing the interpretations of the verses "Khalq min Tayn", "Salalat min Ma' Mahin", "Suwayta" and "Nafq al-Ruh". The research method is based on comparative analysis and the use of interpretive sources to discover the hidden dimensions of the meanings of the verses. The necessity of this research is manifested in showing the interpretive differences and alignments of these two commentators, especially in relation to the philosophical and anthropological categories of the creation of man. The results of the research show that while Allameh Tabataba'i, by emphasizing the descent and ascension of man towards divine perfection and mystical interpretations, pays attention to the esoteric and purposeful dimensions of creation, Alusi also addressed the philosophical and historical aspects of the verses and analyzed the concept of creation in human and material terms.
