Mentioning the means that aid in reflecting upon the Noble Qur'an.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : We return to speaking briefly about this, about what we heard from the two surahs. But I say that a person must learn the meanings of the Qur'an.
So if someone asks by what means does one learn the Qur'an?
We say: The means are many:
First: Reviewing reliable books of tafsir (exegesis) in terms of religion, knowledge, thought, and methodology, such as the tafsir of Ibn Kathir, the tafsir of Shaykh Abd al-Rahman al-Sa'di, which are available, praise be to Allah, in abundance, and the tafsir of al-Qurtubi, which sometimes contains errors, but there is no doubt that it is beneficial, especially in matters of fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence). If one is unable to do so, scholars, praise be to Allah, are available to reflect upon the Qur'an, and whatever is difficult for him, he asks the scholars whose knowledge and trustworthiness are reliable, so that he follows the righteous predecessors (Salaf) who did not pass ten verses without learning them and the knowledge and practice contained therein.
