Abstract
The Obscure Words of the Qur’ān is one of the most significant discussions of the Qur’ānic Sciences. It is the apprehension of somewhat strange, peculiar, abstruse and ambiguous words of the Qur’ān. The intrinsic meaning of the word “Gharīb” does not imply on the Qur’ān. Rather, it pertains to the capability of a reader to perceive the Arabic language which is undermined due to aloofness as being a non-Arab. Embracement of Islam by enormous non-Arabs led to the escalated vocabulary of the Obscure Words. Many scholars have penned down solitary oeuvres on this significant Qur’ānic Science. In this article, some instances from Al-Jāmi’ li-Aḥkām al-Qur’ān have been quoted in which Imām Qurṭubī has explicated the Obscure Words in a remarkable comprehensive manner. The pattern of inferences and methodology adopted by the exegete to interpret these words will also be accentuated in this research paper.
