A master’s thesis titled “Linguistic Multiplicity in Al-Tayyibi’s Commentary on Al-Kashani’s Al-Kashaf” was discussed at the College of Islamic Sciences at the University of Karbala. The thesis, presented by Hashim Ali Karim Al-Saffar from the Department of Arabic Language and Quranic Studies, focused on the significance of meaning and its impact on the diversity of grammatical interpretations in the Quran. It aimed to analyze Quranic texts from various linguistic angles, expanding the scope of meaning and providing logical insights into grammatical possibilities.

The thesis concluded with several key findings:

1. Linguistic diversity in Quranic verses results from the suitability of an Arabic grammatical structure or composition for multiple grammatical functions.
2. Variations in grammatical interpretations lead to differences in meaning and multiple potential understandings.
3. Al-Tayyibi did not exclusively adopt the views of either the Basri or Kufi grammatical schools, instead, he leaned toward either school depending on the context and evidence available.
4. The support for Quranic readings in favor of certain grammatical possibilities presented by Al-Tayyibi was limited, with some more well-known readings carrying more weight in decision-making.

• Professor Rafah Abdul Hussein Mehdi, Ph.D. in Language and Semiotics, University of Karbala, College of Islamic Sciences, Chairperson.
