Ibrahim ibn Umar al-Biqa'i

Ibrahim ibn Umar al-Biqa'i (d. 1480) was a 15th-century Muslim scholar of the Shafi'i school of Islamic thought.

[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.

[1][8] Aside from this, al-Biqa'i favoured the use of rhetorical and logical coherence as the primary tool for interpretation of the Qur'an.
