Books of Tafsir That Aid in Reflecting on the Qur'an
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. We are students of the Qur'an memorization societies. Allah has blessed us with memorizing the Qur'an, or part of it, and we are on our way to understanding its jurisprudence. What are the books of tafsir that will help us reflect on the Qur'an after we have understood its jurisprudence?
Answer:
By Allah, I say, and I continue to say, that it is not enough for us to merely take care of memorizing the Qur'an. We must memorize the Qur'an, and along with it, memorize whatever is easy of the hadiths of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and memorize the correct creed along with the memorization of the Qur'an. The Khawarij rebelled against the Muslims and fought the Muslims while they were memorizing the Qur'an. It is not enough to memorize the Qur'an; we must memorize the creed, we must memorize the science of hadith, and we must memorize jurisprudence.
