        abstract = {According to Islamic theology, al-Maturidi is one of  the three prominent
Muslim theologians of  Ahl al-Sunnah wa al-Jama?ah who are called aqtab
madhhab Ahl al-Sunnah wa?l-Jama?ah (the leaders of  Sunnite school
of  thought). In addition to his reputation as a theologian, al-Maturidi actually
was competent in various Islamic sciences. In Qura?nic exegesis, he has Ta?wilat
Ahl al-Sunnah or Ta?wilat al-Qur?an. Unfortunately, this fact isn?t known
well by Islamic researchers. This article is going to elucidate the features of  his
work that encompass at least seven characteristics. Al-Ma{\ensuremath{>}}turidi prefers to
combine the naqli  (traditional) and ?aqli{\ensuremath{>}}  (rational) sources. Consequently, it
can be identified as tafsi{\ensuremath{>}}r bi?l-izdiwa{\ensuremath{>}}j or the exegesis that amalgamates
tafsi{\ensuremath{>}} r bi?l-ma?thu{\ensuremath{>}}r (traditional exegesis) with tafsi{\ensuremath{>}} r bi?l-ra?y (rational
exegesis). He is not an interpreter who uses excessive grammatical analysis to
interpret the Qura?nic verses.  He sometimes presents many styles of  qira{\ensuremath{>}}?ah
(recitation of  the Qur?an) without thorough explanation. He almost never
uses Isra?iliyya{\ensuremath{>}}t (the Judeo-Christian traditions and tales) to interpret the
Qura?nic verses. He favors tawassut{$\backslash$} (nonaligned and independent standpoint)
when he deals with different viewpoints among theologians. He tends to follow
the H\{anafite school of  thought in discussing the jurisprudential Qura?nic
verses. He applies asba{\ensuremath{>}}b al-nuzu{\ensuremath{>}}l (the causes of  revelation) loosely.}
