In the interpretation of the verses, they mention the Qur'anic verses, the prophetic hadiths and the sayings of the Imams as well as rational arguments so that they can be used with reason. It is possible. The commentators have discussed with great zeal the verses of the Qur'an that directly infer jurisprudential issues in the precepts of the Qur'an. People's objections are answered satisfactorily. Answers to the objections of science and philosophy on Islam have been given in the light of rational and simulated arguments.This commentary was written by Imam Jisas in the background of jurisprudential debates, legal difficulties and problems of the 4th century Hijri.
