Summary/Abstract: Alusi who lived in the 19th century is a very productive and prominent reli¬gious scholar. He was qualified in various subjects such as Arabic, Islamic the¬ology, logic, astronomy. He gave legal religious response to produce solutions of his society's problems. He took place his well-known position with his Quranic Exegesis called Ruhu ’l-Meani. He scrunized the previous Qur’anic Exegesis with a great care and evaluated these religious literatures with critical mentality. Right opinions were supported by Alusi and the others were select¬ed by him. It can be noted that he adopted scientific and logical approaches when he was writing his exegesis, and composed two types of understanding of the Qur'an, which are literal meaning and allegorical meaning. Generally speak¬ing Ruh’ul-Meani was accepted one of the significant resources among the later commentators. It also indicated that to produce well-qualified Qur’anic exege¬sis is not pecularity of the past, and he proved with his exegesis that contemporary scholars can write excellent Quranic exegesis.
