The Best Books of Tafsir
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I ask Allah for you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: What are the best tafsirs (Qur'anic exegesis) free from errors that you recommend?
Answer:
There are many tafsirs free from errors, praise be to Allah. The greatest and most comprehensive is the tafsir of Ibn Jarir, who is the imam of the mufassirun (exegetes), and everyone who came after him quotes from him. Then the tafsir of Ibn Kathir, then the tafsir of al-Baghawi, then the tafsir of the contemporary Shaykh Ibn Sa'di, and then the tafsir of our Shaykh, Shaykh Muhammad al-Amin al-Shanqiti. All of these, praise be to Allah, are reliable tafsir books based on evidence and the words of the Salaf (the earliest generations).
