Publisher's Synopsis
A collection of the long-unavailable tafasir, or commentaries on the Qur'an, which help to properly explain and contextualize the revelation, this series aims to make leading exegetical works-in translation, unabridged, and faithful to the letter and meaning of the Arabic-widely available for study and research.
Available for the first time in accurate and annotated English, this fundamental tome-originally written by Jalal al-Din al-Mahalli and Jalal al-Din al-Suyuti-presents one of the most easily accessible works of Quranic exegesis in a simple style and concise single-volume length. This volume is not only the classic introduction to tafsir but also the standard reference work for the language of the Qur'an in its literal meaning.
