Question:
From Sudan, a questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, what are the best books of tafsir that you advise me to look into after the Book of Allah? What are these books of tafsir?

The old tafsirs are better than the later tafsirs, especially the tafsir of Ibn Jarir, the tafsir of Ibn Kathir, and the tafsir of al-Baghawi. These are all great tafsirs, and they are tafsirs of the Qur'an by the Qur'an, or of the Qur'an by the Sunnah, or of the Qur'an by the interpretation of the Companions, or the interpretation of the Tabi'un, or its interpretation in the language in which it was revealed. These old tafsirs are the best books of tafsir. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
