Abu Muslim al-Isfahani

Abu Muslim al-Isfahani (868–934) was a Mu'tazilite theologian, Quran commentator, and government official. He worked as a secretary to Muhammad ibn Zayd, tax director, and chief accountant in Isfahan and other cities. He is best known for his fourteen-volume Quranic commentary, Jami' al-Ta'wil li-Muhkami al-Tanzil, written according to Mu'tazilite theological views. He is also noted for rejecting the idea of abrogation (naskh) within the Quran. None of his works have survived in full, but later scholars such as Fakhr al-Din al-Razi quoted from them in their writings.
