By Al Sadiqin Press (Publisher not Author) and Ben Abrahamson

The Tafsir Al-Qur'an: A Complete English Translation of Classical Qur'anic Commentaries Volume 33 presents a simple, but complete English translation of the major classical commentaries on the Qur'an, covering the last verses of Surat l-Takwir , and the first verses of Surat l-Shams . These tafsir works are foundational to Islamic scholarship, each offering a distinct methodology and historical perspective: Tafsir al-Tabari (923 CE) - One of the earliest and most comprehensive tafsirs, authored by Imam al-Tabari . It is based on tafsir bi'l-ma'thur (interpretation through transmitted reports) and includes extensive narrations from the Prophet (pbuh), the Sahabah, and early scholars. Tafsir al-Baghawi (1122 CE) - Written by Imam al-Baghawi , this tafsir is known for its conciseness and reliance on authentic hadith and narrations. It is widely used in Sunni circles as a balanced and straightforward commentary. Tafsir al-Qurtubi (1273 CE) - Authored by Imam al-Qurtubi , this tafsir is famous for its focus on fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence) and legal interpretations, making it essential for scholars studying Qur'anic law. Tafsir al-Baidawi (1286 CE) - A concise and refined commentary by Imam al-Baidawi , often studied in traditional madrasahs. It is particularly valuable for its linguistic analysis and summarization of earlier tafsirs like al-Zamakhshari's. Tafsir Ibn Kathir (1372 CE) - One of the most widely read tafsirs today, written by Ibn Kathir , emphasizing tafsir bi'l-ma'thur and the use of hadith and narrations from the Sahabah. Tafsir al-Jalalayn (1505 CE) - A brief yet highly regarded tafsir written by Jalal al-Din al-Mahalli and completed by Jalal al-Din al-Suyuti. It is a widely studied introductory tafsir, particularly in traditional Islamic education. Tafsir al-Suyuti (1505 CE) - Compiled by Imam al-Suyuti, this tafsir is a rich source of tafsir bi'l-ma'thur (narrative-based exegesis), incorporating extensive hadith and historical reports. Fath al-Qadir (1834 CE) - Written by Imam al-Shawkani, this tafsir combines tafsir bi'l-ma'thur with rational analysis and legal insights, making it a comprehensive and independent work. This book serves as an essential resource for students, researchers, and general readers seeking a comprehensive understanding of the Qur'an through classical scholarship. As part of a 34-volume complete translation, this work aims to make these monumental Islamic commentaries accessible to English readers for the first time. Our research at Al Sadiqin necessitated a translation of the tafsir (commentaries) on the Holy Qur'an that allowed easy searching, comparison between similar ahadith and immediate reference to the original Arabic text for those not fluent in Arabic. Al Sadiqin contributes to fulfilling this need by providing this publication. The online form of this book makes for easy "copy and paste" of ahadith for use in research papers. In the printed form, it allows the reader who may not be fluent in Arabic to find references to the original Arabic text. Portions of this work have been translated using AI (machine-assisted translation) and post-edited for clarity and accuracy. While an ongoing effort has been made to ensure fidelity to the original text, minor variations, or mistakes may be found. Please send any corrections or suggestions to tafsir@alsadiqin.org to benefit future editions of this work. The latest version of book can be downloaded at http://alsadiqin.org/tafsir.
