In 'Fath al-Qadir', Al-Shawkani presents a comprehensive exegesis (tafsir) of the Holy Qur'an. He seeks to clarify its verses based on both narration (riwayah) and critical analysis (dirayah), relying on authentic narrations from the Companions and the Successors, as well as the Prophetic hadiths. He also utilizes his knowledge of abrogation (nasikh wa mansukh), the occasions of revelation (asbab al-nuzul), and the clear and ambiguous verses (muhkam wa mutashabih), in addition to interpreting the verses in light of grammatical rules.
