Summary
Al-Sirat al-mustaqim fi tibyan al-Qurʾan al-karim (The Straight Path: A Commentary on the Holy Qur’an) is also known by the title of Tafsir al-akhawayn (Exegesis of the Two Brothers), perhaps because the work was considered a kind of ‘brother volume’ to the well-known Tafsir al-Jalalayn by Jalal al-Din al-Mahalli and Jalal al-Din al-Suyuti.

About The Author
Nur al-Din Ahmad Al-Kazaruni
Little information has survived about Nur al-Din Ahmad al-Kazaruni al-Shafi’i al-‘Umari except that he was alive in the year 923AH/1517CE. Although the name Kazaruni speaks to an origin in Kazarun, Persia, it is known that Kazaruni settled in Mecca and rose to a position of authority there, acting as advisor to the chief justice of Ta’if. The attributions of al-Shafi’i and al-‘Umari refer to his legal school and to his descent from the Caliph ‘Umar respectively.
Khalid Williams specialises in translations from Arabic, with a particular focus on Islamic Studies and Sufism. He is the translator among others of Volume II of Kashani, A Sufi Commentary on the Qur’an.
