Abu al-Qasim al-Shatibi

Abū al-Qāsim ibn Firruh ibn Khalaf ibn Aḥmad al-Ruʿaynī al-Shāṭibī (Arabic: أبو القاسم بن فره بن خلف بن أحمد الرعيني الشاطبي), 538–590 AH / 1144–1194 CE, was an Islamic scholar from Xàtiva (then in الشرق الاندلس or ax-Xarq al-Andalus; modern day País Valencià, Spain) who worked in the field of qira'at, Qur'an recitation methods.[1] Matn Shatibiyyah has many explanations in Arabic but only one in English. It is on a Youtube channel named QSS, on the playlist section. Go and benefit InshaAllah.
