'Al-Fawz al-Kabir fi Usul al-Tafsir' (The Great Victory on the Principles of Exegesis) was authored by Shah Waliullah Dehlawi (1703–1762), one of the most influential Islamic scholars of the Indian subcontinent. The book lays down the foundational principles and methodology for understanding and interpreting the Holy Quran. It is considered a classic text in the field of usul al-tafsir (principles of Quranic interpretation) and is studied widely in Islamic seminaries.
Shah Waliullah Dehlawi wrote several important works across various Islamic disciplines, including 'Hujjatullah al-Baligha' and 'Izalat al-Khafa'. 'Al-Fawz al-Kabir' was originally written in Persian and later translated into Arabic and Urdu. The book discusses five key sciences needed for Quranic interpretation: linguistics, rhetoric, knowledge of abrogation, occasions of revelation, and the distinction between Meccan and Medinan revelations.
