Idris Kandhlawi's approach to writing this tafsir was rooted in the methodology of his teacher, Ashraf Ali Thanwi's Bayan al-Quran.

By following this method, he ensured a systematic and coherent presentation of the Quranic commentary, drawing inspiration from the teachings of the Salaf and the scholarly heritage of Islamic civilization.

By compiling Maarif al-Quran, he aimed to provide a reliable and authentic source of interpretation that would guide Muslims in understanding the Quran correctly.

[3] The process of compiling Maarif al-Quran began in 1941, but it faced challenges due to political conditions before the partition of India.

Emphasis on Traditional Commentaries: Idris Kandhlawi extensively referenced and quoted renowned Quranic commentators such as Ibn Kathir, Al-Qurtubi, Fakhr al-Din al-Razi, and Mahmud al-Alusi.

These traditional comment aries served as the foundation for his interpretation, allowing him to incorporate the wisdom and insights of eminent scholars who came before him.

By incorporating these perspectives, he aimed to provide a holistic understanding of the Quran that encompassed both the intellectual and spiritual dimensions of Islam.

He sought to clarify misconceptions and resolve conflicts by presenting counterarguments based on sound Islamic principles and interpretations.

Muhammad Zubair, a lecturer at Abdul Wali Khan University Mardan, stated that Maarif al-Quran serves as a concise summary of previous tafsirs.
