Summary/Abstract: The work titled as “İşârî Tefsir [Isharī Tafsīr by Ibn al-ʿArabī]”, which we reviewed, is related to exegesis and sufism. The book consists of an introduction chapter and two main chapters. This work mainly discusses the basic principles and methods of Isharī tafsīr within the framework of Ibn al-ʿArabī’s, a well-known sufī, understanding of existence, human beings, knowledge and Qur’ān. This work is a dissertation written by a young scholar. The book is significant in that it provides a succinct overview of Ibn al-ʿArabī’s system of thought. In our country, there are many hadith, kalām and sufism studies on Ibn al-ʿArabī. But there are few exegesis studies discussing Ibn al-ʿArabī’s perspective, this book fills this gap.
