The general methodological features in the explanations of Al-Zamil and Al-Tamimi on Ibn Malik’s Alfiya - A Comparative Study-

Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds, and prayers and peace be upon our noble Messenger Muhammad, and thereafter: Arabic language scholars, both ancient and modern, have devoted efforts to explain Ibn Maliks Alfiya due to its significant impact on the hearts of teachers and learners. They approached it with explanations suitable for their era and time, following various educational methodologies in their presentation and explanation. From this, we took a beacon for studying two explanations from the modern commentators and comparing them, through which we recognize the methodological features followed in them to convey the scientific material. After that, the choice fell on two groups of prevalent explanations among modern commentators. The first: explanations extracted from audio tapes, represented by the explanation of Sheikh Ali bin Muhammad Al-Zamil (died: 1418 AH), and the second: printed explanations represented by the explanation of Professor Dr. Subaih bin Hamoud Al-Tamimi on Ibn Maliks Alfiya; and because of the methodological characteristics that distinguish the explanations of Al-Zamil and Al-Tamimi, which we did not find combined in others, thus knowing the general methodological features in the explanations of modern commentators made them the focus of our research titled General Methodological Features in the Explanations of Al-Zamil and Al-Tamimi - A Comparative Study-. The study concluded that there is a systematic discrepancy between commentators that is consistent with presenting the millennium in our current era through two prevailing models in explaining the millennium.
