Evaluating Sayyid Qutb's Tafsir
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is your opinion, Your Eminence, on the tafsir of Sayyid Qutb (may Allah have mercy on him)?
Answer:
What I have read, I have read only a little in the vast oceans of good, but what I have read regarding Allah, and some people say that it contains some errors from the book, or that some of the masters of eloquence read it, and this is something that rarely causes a book to be criticized; every book other than the Book of Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) is subject to some criticism and some errors, but apart from that, one takes what is in it of goodness and beneficial benefit, and whatever is an error in it is declared an error.
