Abstract :Abd al-Hamîd al-Farahî and his pupil Amîn Ahsan al-Islahî are two significant figuresconcerning Qur`anic studies in the Indian subcontinent. Although Farahi did not write anycomplete commentary on the Qur`an, Islahî, who followed and developed his mentor`sprinciples of interpretation, did write a complete commentary which is called Tadabbur-iQur`an. This article tries to describe and analyse their methodology in the interpretation ofthe Qur`an and discusses the their general approaches to the Qur`anic surahs. Althoughthere are differences between these two exegetes, it must be said that the methodologythey developed is very original. Both treated the Qur`anic surahs as a coherent unit,therefore they grouped them into different subsections. They found a specific theme ineach section and subsection. Nonetheless, there is a one major theme in each surah andsurah groups which they called amûd. More interestingly, they saw in the Qur`anic surahsnot only thematic but also structural unity. Despite the originality of their approach, it isimportant to note that there are some problems which wait to be solved.
