The Best Books on Tafsir
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Our brother Ahmad Ali from South India also asks about the best books of tafsir that you would advise him to acquire? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
The best are Tafsir Ibn Jarir and Tafsir Ibn Kathir... Tafsir al-Baghawi. These are great, important, and beneficial tafsirs. Among the good tafsirs are Tafsir al-Qurtubi and Tafsir al-Shawkani. They contain much good, but there must be some things that may be criticized. So a person should be wary of what is erroneous in them and ask the people of knowledge about what is difficult for him.
And all books, every book, except for the Book of Allah, the Qur'an is the one that is protected and preserved, whereas in people's books some error may occur. So the believer benefits from the good, great books, and if something is unclear to him, he asks the people of knowledge about what is unclear to him; he asks the one who is more knowledgeable than him about what is unclear to him. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
