Tafsir tadabbur al-Qur’an (a reflective Commentary of the Qur’an) Introduction: Surah al Fatiha and the four Quls

Description

It is reported
that Imam al-Hussain (a) said:

“The Book of Allah is based on four
things: expressions, allusions, subtleties, and realities. The expressions are
for the common people; the allusions are for the elite; the subtleties are for
the friends of Allah, and the realities are for the prophets.”

 

Islamic Education Department is proud to announce the launch
of Tafsīr Tadabbur
al-Qur’an.



This work is the awaited manifestation of a long-held dream by The World
Federation of KSIMC to publish the tafsīr
of the whole Qur’an in the English language.

 

Tafsīr Tadabbur al-Qur’an
is authored by the prominent scholars Shaykh Abbas Jaffer and Dr
Masuma Jaffer, along with contributions from Shaykh Mohammad Saeed
Bahmanpour and Shaykh Dr Tahir Ridha Jaffer.

 

In it, the authors have employed a novel style of presenting tafsīr by combining
reflective, and practical elements that of utmost significance for everyday
life within the explanation of the verses. It also draws on the work of several
classical and modern scholars, from the school of the Ahl al-Bayt (a).

 

The verses are discussed in a simple and comprehensible way, so that readers
with no knowledge of Arabic and no background in Qur’anic studies can find it
excitingly easy to understand. 



In this preliminary volume, five chapters have been explored; namely, the frequently
recited: al-Fātiḥah,
al-Kāfirūn, al-Ikhlāṣ, al-Falaq, and al-Nās.

Each year, one entire juz will be published, Allah-willing.
