Summary/Abstract: After the formation of philosophical thought in the history of Islamic philosophy, the commentaries written on the main texts of great philosophers became a tradition for a long time. Especially in the history of philosophy after Avicenna, the way of our philosophical thought changed and some theologians began to discuss philosophical issues. Some commentaries on the works of Avicenna had been written by the scholars who weren’t philosophers. One of the most important commentaries is the work of Fakhr Ad-Din Al-Razî named as Al-İnarat fi Sharh Al-Isharat written on Al-Isharat wa Al-Tanbihat. But scholars out of Al-Razi had attempted to write commentaries on this work of Avicenna. The book Basharat Al-Isharat of Shams Ad-Din Samarqandî which is the topic of this article is one of those commentaries. Samarqandî is a one of thinkers who maintained the commentary tradition in thirteenth century. However, this commentary of Samarqandi had not been very illustrious as much as the commentaries of Fakhr Ad-Din Al-Razi and Nasr Al-Din Tûsî. Moreover, there is not a printed version of it except from academic studies. We will try to analyze the thoughts of the philosopher on the basis of the section about al-İlâhiyât of his commentary by following his methodology.
