Yasin Jasim al-Muhaimid (d. 1439 AH / 2017–2018 CE) was a contemporary scholar of Arabic linguistics and a professor of grammar and morphology at Imam Mohammad Ibn Saud Islamic University .

Academic Career and Scholarly Contributions

Al-Muhaimid served as a professor of grammar and morphology in the College of Arabic Language at Imam Mohammad Ibn Saud Islamic University . His research focused primarily on Arabic syntax, Quranic linguistic exegesis, and the methodological relationship between grammatical theory and canonical Quranic readings (qiraʾat) .

In his treatise Talhin al-Nahwiyyin lil-Qurra ("The Grammarians' Fault-Finding with the Reciters"), he examined historical disputes between grammarians and Quranic reciters, arguing that rigorously transmitted readings with continuous chains of narration (tawatur) constitute an authoritative linguistic standard that should govern grammatical rules rather than be subjected to analogical critique . He also explored grammatical exposition in classical Andalusian exegesis in his study al-Dirasat al-Nahwiyyah fi Tafsir Ibn ʿAtiyyah ("Grammatical Studies in the Exegesis of Ibn ʿAtiyyah") .

List of Works

  • al-Irab al-Muhit min Tafsir al-Bahr al-Muhit

    al-I‘rab al-Muhit min Tafsir al-Bahr al-Muhit is a contemporary grammatical reference that extracts and isolates the Quranic syntactic analysis (i‘rab) from Abu Hayyan al-Gharnati's classical commentary al-Bahr al-Muhit. By separating these syntactic determinations from broader exegetical narratives, theological discussions, and general commentary, the work provides a focused compilation of Quranic grammatical analysis based on Abu Hayyan's eight-volume exegesis.

  • Talhin al-Nahwiyyin lil-Qurra

    Talhin al-Nahwiyyin lil-Qurra is a scholarly treatise examining and refuting classical grammarians' grammatical censure (talhin) of canonical Quranic readings (qira'at). The work addresses instances where grammarians objected to mass-transmitted readings, arguing that soundly transmitted readings with unbroken chains of transmission serve as an authoritative linguistic standard over humanly formulated grammatical analogies.
