What is the best tafsir (exegesis) of the Noble Qur'an?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you with good. What is the best tafsir of the Noble Qur'an?
The Shaykh:
To my knowledge, I do not know of one better than the tafsir of Ibn Kathir and Ibn Jarir, followed by al-Baghawi (may Allah have mercy on him). These three books are among the most important and best of the tafsirs. Al-Qurtubi’s contains benefit, and al-Shawkani’s does as well. The other books contain benefits, but they are not free from things that can be criticized in them. As for these three books, they contain great and important exegesis. Although they are not infallible, they are the best tafsirs in my knowledge and in what I have reviewed. Yes.
The presenter:
What is your opinion, Honorable Shaykh?
The Shaykh:
And her statement, in general, is a tafsir from many. Yes.
