Thematic Qur'an Tafsir
-
Peace,
I found a unique tafsir of the Qur'an in my own language (Turkish). It's called "The Encyclopedia of the Qur'an". The author is Prof. Dr. S?leyman Ate. It consists of 30 volumes and costs $ 585. What makes this tafsir unique is that it's thematic. You can look up any topic, for example "marriage", and you will find all relevant verses with elaborate explanations.
S?leyman Ate is well-known in Turkey. He has dedicated his life to Islam and has taught Arabic and tafsir to Arabs in Saudi Arabia, Algeria and Iraq. Unsurprisingly, some traditional Muslims in Turkey have called him a "kafir" because he does not adhere to "traditional" Islam.
Anway, I wonder if there is a thematic tafsir of the Qur'an in English? The problem is of course who the author is. I'm not interested in traditional scholars who merely parrot whatever the classical scholars said.

Whew, that's a lot of money. I'm going to bookmark the page though.
