Lessons of Sheikh LARBI Ben BELKACEM ETTEBESSI in Quran Interpretation during his Journeys to the Algerian Cities – Documenting, Describing and Analyzing –

Abstract

  This research tried to introduce the lessons of Algerian Sheikh LARBI Ben BELKACEM ETTEBESSI in interpreting Quranic verses and explaining their meanings, which he gave in a number of Algerian cities and regions during his travels and movements there, and in the context of a project to reform them, diagnose and treat the nation’s diseases, and spread awareness of its identity.

 The number of lessons I studied reached twelve, which had an impact on people’s lives and their religious life.

  As for the research material, it was divided into three main sections: the first: in documenting those lessons, the second: in describing them in a general way, and the third: in clarifying some of their methodological and content aspects through their available news.

  These lessons confirmed the interpretive competence of Sheikh LARBI Ben BELKACEM ETTEBESSI and his distinction in many gatherings, events and trips. This is an interpretive effort that is added to the Sheikh’s efforts in interpreting the entire Quran in other well-known and permanent gatherings. Thus, he deserved a high rank among the commentators and scholars of the Quran.
