b. as it would be obliged to do!

Literally Bai't means solemn assurance to do something and absolute submission to one's commands. All the believers have declared to follow the commands of Allah Al-Mighty and act upon the guideline of His Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H). In the early days of Islam, every person intending to embrace Islam use to take an oath of obedience and loyalty to the orders given by the Prophet (P.B.U.H). The person gave his hand in the hands of the Prophet (P.B.U.H). Afterwards, this sort of oath was introduced in many kinds; one of them is "Bai't Islah or Bai't Al Tuba". The Bai't is in accordance with the spirit of Islamic teachings. The scholars of Islam in majority have accepted its authenticity as discussed in the article under reference.
Poetic Citation in the Tafasir of AI-Qurtubi and Adwa-ul-Bayan Linguistic and Syntactical Comparative Study (Chapters: Al-Ambiya and Al-Haj) The Holy Quran, which is the last book of Almighty Allah and revealed for the guidance of the whole humanity till the doomsday, is indeed the most important and deserving book for a research scholar to carry out his research on it. Learning of Arabic language is a basic tool for its understanding and the Arabic poetry has its major role in the learning process of this language. Arabic language helps the commentators of the Holy Quran in defining the actual lexical and contextual meaning of the difficult words occurred in the Holy Quran. Among the classical commentators of the Holy Quran, Imam Qurtubi (died in 671 H) is one of those commentators who have very abundantly cited the Arabic poetry in his Tafsir. Likewise, Allama Shinqiti (died in 1393 H) is one of those commentators in the contemporary period who followed the same pattern in his Tafsir. Having a profound love for the Arabic poetry, I carried out my research work in the comparative linguistic and syntactical study of the poetic citation used by these two commentators delimiting the research work to two chapters of the Holy Quran. This research work is divided into five chapters: Chapter One: deals with the poetic citation, its importance in defining the meanings of the difficult words occurred in the Holy Quran. Chapter Two: deals with the biographies of the two commentators and the characteristics of their commentaries along with pattern followed by them in their Tafasir. Chapter Three: consists of the analytical study of the poetic citation in Tafsir Qurtubi in the two chapters of the Holy Quran mentioned above covering their linguistic and syntactical aspects. Chapter Four: consists of the analytical study of the poetic citation in Tafsir Adwa-ul-Bayan in the two chapters of the Holy Quran mentioned above covering their linguistic and syntactical aspects. Chapter Five: consists of the comparative study between the two commentaries focusing on the similarities and dissimilarities in both of them.
