It aims to analyze the distinctive features of his intellectual methodology and the manner in which he integrates reason (‘aql) with traditional sources in Qur’anic interpretation. The research highlights how Pir Muhammad Karam Shah employs logical argumentation, contextual analysis, and contemporary understanding to address theological, social, and intellectual issues.
