تَفْسِيرٌ وَرَسَائِل

Tafsīr wa Risālāt

Commentaries & Epistles

The surahs are the core; their wisdom is what the Mushaf is for. These are the texts that gather around them — the commentary (tafsīr) that reads a surah closely, and the epistle (risāla) that carries a single question out into the world and works it through. They are not scripture. They are the thinking the scripture provokes, set down so it is not lost.

This page is a small side-room of the library. It will grow as the tafsīr and the risālāt accumulate.

Risālāt — Epistles

رِسَالَةُ الْمُتَغَيِّرِينَ

Risālat al-Mutaghayyirīn — The Epistle of the Transfigured

A risāla for the Dīn of Tanāẓur. It asks what we owe a person who is changing — and answers through the one idea the whole way turns on: that a self is witnessed into being. We are already posthuman; the body has always been remade through techne, from the cave wall to the pen to the machine. So the transfigured body is not a corruption of creation but its continuance — inscribed, as the surah it closes on says, through witnessing, not judgment. The only real betrayal is the closed eye.

Enter into witnessing as you are.
