Qur’anic Interpretation Studies

Seyyed Mostafa Hosseini Tabataba’i was born in 1935. His website is http://www.mostafatabatabaie.net/ where he publishes his works. He is considered as one of the Shiite Qur’anists (The Qur'anists are those who radically deny the hadith). In addition, he criticizes some Shiite principles which show that he is influenced by Salafism and Wahhabism. He does not consider the resort to the Ahl al-Bayt (AS) and pilgrimage of them to be correct. He believes that some Shiite festivals and occasions such as the birth and martyrdom of the Ahl al-Bayt (AS) are made by the people. He considers only ‘Eid al-Fiṭr and ‘Eid al-Aḍḥāas ‘Eid al-Islam. He acts upon Sunni jurisprudence. And some of his books have been published in Saudi Arabia, and some websites belonging to Saudi Arabia and Sunnis publish his works electronically. All of the above shows the susceptibility of Mostafa Hosseini Tabataba’i by Salafism and Wahhabism.
