Burhan al-Din al-Biqa'i

Burhān al-Dīn al-Biqāʿī (Arabic: برهان الدين البقاعي; died 1480) was a 15th-century Muslim scholar of the Shafi'i school of Islamic thought.

He is remembered most for his method to Tafsir (exegesis) involving quoting from biblical sources such as the Hebrew Bible.

[1][2] Through Ibn Hajar's recommendation, the ruling Burji Mamluk sultan, Sayf al-Din Jaqmaq accepted al-Biqa'i as a personal tutor.

[1][2] During his time in Cairo, he faced harsh criticism from contemporary scholars for his approach to Quranic exegesis.

[1][2][3] Some of the scholars ordered violent uprisings against him, so he quickly moved back to Damascus for his safety.
