Zarkashi

Abū Abdullāh Badr ad-Dīn Mohammed bin Abdullah bin Bahādir az-Zarkashī, better known as Az-Zarkashī, was a fourteenth-century Islamic scholar. He primarily resided in Mamluk-era Cairo. He specialized in the fields of law, hadith, history, and Shafi'i legal jurisprudence (fiqh). He left behind thirty compendia, but the majority of these are lost to modern researchers, and only the titles are known. One of his most famous works that has survived is al-Burhān fī 'Ulūm al-Qur'ān, a manual of the Qur'anic sciences.
