Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I ask Allah for you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: What is the smallest tafsir (Qur'anic exegesis) that you recommend for a beginner?
Answer:
There are many tafsirs, and praise be to Allah, they are accessible and available. The best of them is what follows the methodology of the Salaf (the earliest generations): interpreting the Qur'an by the Qur'an, interpreting the Qur'an by the Sunnah, interpreting the Qur'an by the statements of the Companions, interpreting the Qur'an by the statements of the Tabi'un (the generation after the Companions), and interpreting the Qur'an by the language in which it was revealed, which is the language of the Arabs. As for interpreting the Qur'an by modern ideas and theories, that is wrong. Yes.
