Question:
Shaykh, he inquires, Shaykh, and asks you: What is the best tafsir for the beginner student of knowledge?

Answer:
The best tafsir for the beginner student of knowledge is the tafsir of Shaykh Ibn Sa'di (may Allah have mercy on him); it is a clear tafsir, a concise tafsir, and a fine summary. If he advances beyond that, then also the tafsir of Ibn Kathir (may Allah have mercy on him) is a reliable and good tafsir, and it is on the methodology of the Salaf. Likewise, the tafsir of Imam al-Baghawi (may Allah have mercy on him) is a good Salafi tafsir. Higher than that, and the original of tafsirs and their mother, is the tafsir of Ibn Jarir al-Tabari (may Allah have mercy on him). These are the recognized tafsirs, free from false interpretations (ta'wil) regarding the names and attributes; they are good tafsirs and on the methodology of the righteous Salaf, and in accordance with the modes of interpretation found in the principles of tafsir.
