نحمدہ و نصلی علی رسولہ الرکیم

In the Name of Allah the Most Compassionate Very Merciful

All Praise Due to Allah Almighty the Lord of Hazrat Muhammad – may Allah send peace and

Introduction to Tafseer

Prior to beginning with the acquisition of a branch of knowledge one is in need of knowing 10

facts about it:

1. Name:

Tafseer is extracted from the root word فسر which means “to open” and “to explore”.

2. Definition:

It’s the knowledge of acquiring those principles through which one is enabled, according

to one’s humanly strength, to find out the meanings of Allah’s Speech.

3. Subject:

The Quranic verses, in the manner of understanding their objectives.

4. Founder:

The founders of this branch of knowledge are the scholars, from the time of the Holy

Prophet – may Allah send blessings and peace upon him – up to this age, who are

profound in the field of ‘Ilm and are matured in this faculty, as Allah Almighty provides

evidence:

It is He Who sent down upon you the Book, in which some verses have clear meaning, they are the substance of the Book, and others are those, in the meaning of which there is doubt. Those in whose hearts there is perversity pursue doubtful one desiring deviation and searching their own view point of it, and its right interpretation is known to Allah alone. And those of firm knowledge say, 'We believed in it, all is from our Lord and none accept admonition save men of understanding.

(Aale ‘Imraan 3, Verse 7)

5. Resources:

This knowledge is benefitted from the Quran, Sunnah (Hadeeth), the sayings of Sahaba

and Taabe’een and pure and the sayings of the eloquent people of Arabia.

6. Ruling (Shariah ruling about the acquisition of this knowledge):

It’s Fard Al-Kifaayah.

7. Matters:

Those sentences, from different perspectives of commandments, preventions, and

counsel etc.

8. Rank:

It ranks high among the Shariah ‘Uloom and acts as their foundation.

9. Benefits:

The better and higher understanding of the meanings of Allah’s Words.

10. Need:

To gain good fortune in both the worlds; in this world by fulfilling the commands and by

abstaining from what is forbidden, and in the hereafter, to enjoy the paradise and its

bounties. It is for this reason that the ‘Aalim of the Quran and the ones that fulfilled its

commands will be told:

Keep on reciting more and more.

(Tafseer Saawi, ‘Ala Al-Jalaalain)

The Holy Quran was revealed collectively at Bait Al-‘Izzah (The house of honour) onto the first

sky in the same order we read it, and then it was sent down little by little according to different

consequences upon the Prophet – may Allah send blessings and peace upon him – in the period

of 23 years. Allah Almighty states:

ا ﴿ سی

تف

نس اح

ق و

حنک بال

ثل ال جئ

تونک بم

ال ی

﴾۳۳و

And they will not bring you any saying but We shall bring you the truth and better explanation. (Al-Furqaan 25, Verse 33)

The revelation differed according to its places of revelation, and in fact, 83 Surahs were revealed in Makkah

Mukarramah i.e. prior to migration, and 21 in Madinah Munawwarah.

The first Surah to be revealed in Makkah Mukarramah was Surah ‘Alaq but there is difference of opinions in

the last Surah which is either:

1. Al-‘Ankaboot

2. Al-Mu’minoon

3. Al-Muttaffifeen

The first Surah to be reveal in Madinah Shareef was Surah Al-Baqarah and the last was Surah Al-Ma’idah.

There is difference of opinions in the place of the revelation of Surah Al-Fatiha whether Makki or Madani;

there is a possibility that it could be both.

The first verse to be revealed is:

﴿ لق

خی بک ال

باسم رار ﴾۱اق

Recite with the name of your Lord Who created, (Al-‘Alaq 96, Verse 1)

The last verse to be revealed is:

فیہ ال اہلل٭ون

عوما ترج

اتقوا ی

و

And fear the day in which you shall be made to return to Allah.

(Al-Baqarah 2, Verse 281)

The Number of Its Letters, Words and Verses:

www.musjidulhaq.com

4

The number of Quranic letters is 225,000 and the steps to the paradise are also of the same quantity,

the distance between the two steps is measured by the journey of 500 years.

The number of the verses is 6,666.

The number of words is 77, 450.

Taking the verses into account, the central verse of the Quran is:

﴿ فکون

اا یقف م

تل فاذا ہی

اہصوس ع

قی م

﴾۵۴فال

Then Musa cast his staff, henceforth it began to swallow their fabrications. (Al-Shu’ara 26, Verse 45)

Taking the letters into account the middle letter of the Quran is in the following Speech of Allah:

را ﴿ شیـ ا نک

ت جئ

﴾۷۵لقد

Undoubtedly you have done a hideous thing'. (Al-Kahf 18, Verse 74)

.in the second ک falls in the first half and نکرا of ن

Taking the Surahs into account Al-Hadeed falls under the first half and Al-Mujaadalah in the second.

The order of the Surahs is as the Holy Prophet – may Allah send blessings and peace upon him – had

directed. Hajjaaj Ibn Yoosuf had named the Surahs after consulting the Sahaba. It was he who had divided

the Quran into 3, 4, and 10 portions and 30 Juz’s (Paras/Volumes) on his own interpretational strength. It is

for this reason that sometimes, one may notice that the beginning of some Rubu’ occurs in the middle of a

story.

(Tafseer Saawi ‘Ala Al-Jalaalain)

The Necessity and Importance of Tafseer

Imam Jalaaluddeen Suyooti – may Allah be pleased with him – states, “The time in which the Quran was

revealed in the Arabic language it was the era of the experts of Arabic literature who could figure out its

apparent interpretations and then derive the rulings from it but they also had to ponder over their inner

meanings and finer details which used to be solved only after consulting the Holy Prophet – may Allah send

blessings and peace upon him. When the verse:

م ہ بظل

منا ای

وبس

ل لم ی

نوا و

امنی ال

Those who have believed and mixed not any injustice with their faith.

(Al-An’aam 6, Verse 82)

The Sahaba asked Allah’s Messenger – may Allah send blessings and peace upon him, his household and

all his companions – “Who amongst us is such; without having done any injustice to himself?” The Holy

Prophet – may Allah send blessings and peace upon him – replied, “Injustice, at this occasion, is interpreted

as ‘polytheism’.” and provided the following verse as a proof of this:

www.musjidulhaq.com

5

ظیم ﴿م ع

لظل

رک ﴾۱۳ان الش

'Undoubtedly, the association with Allah is a tremendous wrong'. (Luqman 31, Verse 13)

Similarly, when the Holy Prophet – may Allah send blessings and peace upon him – stated, “ من نوقش الحساب

– Whoso is held accountable in his accountability will be captured in punishments”, Hazrat ‘Ayeshah عذب

may Allah be pleased with her – then wanted to find out from the Holy Messenger – may Allah send blessings

and peace upon him – concerning the following verses:

﴿ ا ابا یسی

حس

ب

اسحوف ی

﴾۸فس

He will soon have an easy reckoning.

را ﴿ وسر

ل م

الی اہ

قلب

ن ﴾۹و ی

And he will return to his household joyfully. (Al-Inshiqaaq 84, Verse 8, 9)

“This is just about the time when the deeds will be presented (i.e. there is no collision in the meaning that He

mentioned in the Hadeeth)” He replied.

We are even more in need of those fortunes which they needed but we are rather more needy than anyone

else, for we cannot even grasp the essence, evaluations and the inner meanings of the language without

having to learn them.

(Al-Itqaan Fi ‘Uloom Al-Quran of Imam Suyooti, Vol. 2, p. 546-547)

Grasping the meaning of Quran is a great form of worship and bliss, therefore one needs to grasp the

meaning of the Quran from reliable Tafseers along with its recitation.

Hazrat Iyaas Ibn Mu’awiyah – may Allah be pleased with him – states, “The example of those, who recite the

Quran and are not aware of its meaning, is of a people by whom the letter of the king reached at night and

they did not have a lamp to read it as to what is written, and the example of the one who recites the Quran,

knowing its Tafseer, is of a nation by whom the postman brought the letter at night along with the lamp and

they read the letter in the light of the lamp and knew what the letter contained.”

(Tafseer Qurtubi Vol. 1, p. 41)

May Allah enable and grant all the Muslims the divine guide to understand the Quran. Ameen!

The History of Tafseer

The history of Quranic Tafseer could be summarized into four epochs:

1st Epoch:

www.musjidulhaq.com

6

The Holy Quran was revealed in the pure Arabic language and the literature was in accordance with the

Arabic principles and rhetoric, hence, the Sahaba had no problem in grasping the meaning and it was easy

for them to find out the objective of the Speech but since, all the Sahaba were not on the same level of

intellect and knowledge and in grades of knowledge, therefore when any of them observed a difficulty in

understanding the meaning of a verse they used to consult the Holy Prophet – may Allah send blessings and

peace upon him – and He used to quench their thirst of knowledge, and sometimes, He himself used to

explain the interpretation of the verses, and this was the time where the revolution of Quran interpretation or

Tafseer began.

Firstly, Allah Almighty taught his beloved Messenger – may Allah send blessings and peace upon him – the

Tafseer and the interpretation of Quran, for Allah knows best the objective of His own Speech, and then the

Holy Prophet – may Allah send blessings and peace upon him – related those Tafseers to the Sahaba.

Highlighting this great station of the beloved Rasool – may Allah send blessings and peace upon him – Allah

Almighty states:

للناس م ی

ب لترک الیک ال

انلز انل الیہ و ا نز

And O' Beloved! We sent down to you the Remembrance The Holy Quran that you may explain

to people what was sent down to them۔

(Al-Nahl 16, Verse 44)

لیہ لوا ع

تہ ی

ن م

ول

س ر ی م

ث ف ال

ع بی ال

ہو

یہ و ک

ز یایتہ و

﴿ قبل لفی ضلل مبی

کانوا من

محک

ال وکتب

المہ ل

ع ﴾۲ی

It is He Who sent among the unlettered people a Messenger from among themselves, who recites to them His signs and purifies them and bestows them the knowledge of the Book and

wisdom, although they had been necessarily in manifest error before that. (Jumu’ah 62, Verse 2)

2nd Epoch:

In the time of Sahaba after the physical departure of the Holy Prophet – may Allah send blessings and peace

upon him –, there were few personalities among them, who had directly learnt from Him, dedicated their

entire lives in this great work. Despite having the full command over the language and being fully aware and

witnessing the reason, place and condition of the Quran’s revelation, they still did not rely on their intellect.

They rather went to the Holy Prophet – may Allah send blessings and peace upon him – and learned the

Quran and the knowledge of its mystical and finer properties.

Hazrat Abu ‘Abd Al-Rahmaan, a famous Taabe’i – may Allah be pleased with him – stated, “The Sahaba,

who taught us the Quran interpretation, informed us that they used to learn 10 verses from the Holy Prophet

– may Allah send blessings and peace upon him – on a daily basis, and they did not move forward until they

had understood the theoretical and practical interpretation (Tafseer) of the verses.”

www.musjidulhaq.com

7

(Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaibah, 7, p. 152, Hadeeth No. 1)

Hazrat Anas – may Allah be pleased with him – states, “Someone would become very honorable in our eyes

when he had learnt Surah Baqarah and Aale ‘Imraan (from the Holy Prophet – may Allah send blessings and

peace upon him).”

(Sharh Al-Sunnah Vol. 7, p. 76, Hadeeth No. 3619)

When people were faced with a difficulty in understanding the Quran at that time, they brought themselves

at the threshold of Sahaba and enquired the Tafseer from the ones who had directly benefitted from the

knowledge of the beloved Prophet – may Allah send blessings and peace upon him, his household and all

his companions.

Note:

Neither the Holy Prophet – may Allah send blessings and peace upon him – taught the Tafseer of the entire

Quran nor did the Sahaba, but their Tafseer mostly included some verses and words and their interpretations,

the circumstances and reasons of their revelation and the knowledge of Naasikh and Mansookh etc. but it all

was due to them having the full command on Arabic language and literature, thus they never felt the need

for the Tafseer of the entire Quran.

Names of some famous Sahaba who contributed to the knowledge of Tafseer:

1. Hazrat ‘Uthmaan Ghani

2. Hazrat ‘Ali Murtuza

3. Hazrat ‘Abdullah Ibn ‘Abbaas

4. Hazrat ‘Abdullah Ibn Mas’ood

5. Hazrat Ubaiyy Ibn Ka’b

6. Hazrat Zaid Ibn Thaabit

7. Hazrat ‘Abdullah Ibn ‘Amr Ibn Al-‘Aas

8. Hazrat Abu Moosa Ash’ari

9. Hazrat Abu Dardaa’

(May Allah be pleased with them all)

3rd Epoch:

It was the revolutionary time of Tabe’een after the Sahaba. Although they had a vast ocean of the Quran’s

Tafseer directly acquired from the Sahaba but it was not the Tafseer of the entire Quran but the Tafseer was

limited to some verses and Surahs. Islam had reached in different parts of the world by that time, and the

Sahaba that were still living, were serving Islam in different cities. When doors of fitnahs opened at that time,

people differed in their opinions, and the fatawa were widespread then the Taabe’een founded the institutional

structures of the knowledge of Hadeeth, Fiqh and Tafseer. When it came to Tafseer, they followed the

Sunnah of the beloved Prophet and His noble Companions – may Allah send blessings and peace upon him,

his household and all his companions – by doing the Tafseer of the Quranic verses from within the verses of

Quran, then from the relevant Ahadeeth of the beloved Prophet – may Allah send blessings and peace upon

him – and then applied other ways of describing the Tafseer. When they did not find the Tafseer of a verse

from within the Quranic verses nor were they to be found in the Ahadeeth, they benefitted from the Tafseer

www.musjidulhaq.com

of the Sahaba, and when they did not find a Tafseer from within the quotations of the Sahaba, they

themselves made Ijtihaad or interpretation and derived the Tafseer by themselves and it was at that time

when a great treasure of Tafseer books came into existence.

Below are the names of some famous Mufassireen amongst the group of Taabe’een:

1. Hazrat Ibn Al-Musayyib

2. Hazrat ‘Urwah

3. Hazrat Saalim

4. Hazrat ‘Umar Ibn ‘Abdul ‘Azeez

5. Hazrat Sulaimaan Ibn Yasaar

6. Hazrat ‘Ata Ibn Yasaar

7. Hazrat Zaid Ibn Aslam

8. Hazrat Ibn Shahaab Zohri

9. Hazrat Hasan Basri

10. Hazrat Mujaahid Ibn Jubair

11. Hazrat Sa’eed Ibn Jubair

12. Hazrat ‘Alqamah

13. Hazrat Qataadah

14. Hazrat Imam Ibn Seereen

15. Hazrat Ibraheem Nakh’i

16. Hazrat Imam She’bi

4th Epoch:

After the era of Taabe’een, a great deal of work on Tafseer was carried out in the time of Umayyads and

Abbasids caliphate, and up until this time the books of Tafseer have been written in many languages and

from many different perspectives. The names of some remarkable Tafseer works in Arabic language are as

follows:

26 Al-Jawaahir Al-Hisaan Abu Zaid Abdur Rahman Ibn Muhammad Tha’alabi

Quran Interpretation (Tafseer Al-Quran) is further divided into two categories:

1. Tafseer

2. Taaweel

Difference Between Tafseer And Taaweel

The Mufassireen have given many interpretations to Tafseer and Taaweel. One of those definitions is as

follows:

The definition of Tafseer:

www.musjidulhaq.com

10

Those interpretations of the Quran which cannot be acquired through ‘Aql or intellect alone but there is always

a need of Naql or traditions; such as acquiring the information regarding the circumstance, place and reason

for the revelation of a particular Quranic verse or Surah, Mansookh (the verses which rulings have been

abrogated) and Naasikh (the verse which caused the abrogation).

The Definition of Taaweel:

It is to interpret the matters and finer points of the Quran and bring out all the different types of hidden gems

from the Quranic verses by the aid of different branches of knowledge; such Sarf, Nahw, Tasawwuf, science

and technology etc.

The Shariah Ruling Concerning Tafseer and Taaweel:

To do the Tafseer of the Quran from one’s own whims and fancies is forbidden, and it’s permissible for one

to do a valid Taaweeel of the Quran based on his knowledge and wisdom, and it’s a rewarding act to do so

for the people of knowledge (the righteous Ulama).

The Requirements That Are to Be Met For Anyone to Even Being Able to Begin with

Tafseer:

The in-depth knowledge of:

1. Language (Arabic Literature)

2. Grammar

3. Syntax

4. Ishtiqaaq (The ability to be able to relate the words to their root words and vice-versa)

Rhetoric’s: (5, 6, 7)

5. Ma’aani

6. Bayaan

7. Badee’

8. Differenet Qira’ats (Aside from Qira’at Hafs i.e. the 7 different ways of Quranic renditions)

9. The Principle of Deen

10. The Principles of Fiqh

11. Knowledge of the reason behind the revelation of the verses (Asbaab Al-Nuzool)

12. Naasikh and Mansookh

13. The Ahadeeth related to Mujmal and Mubham Tafseer.

The Grades of Quran’s Tafseer:

They are further categorized into five categories:

ان .1 ان بالق .for the Quran also explains itself ,(Interpretation of Quran through Quran) تفسیر الق

www.musjidulhaq.com

11

ان بالحدیث .2 for no one understood Quran as ,(Interpretation of Quran through Hadeeth) تفسیر الق

much as the Prophet – may Allah send blessings and peace upon him – did.

حابۃ .3 ان باثار الص (Interpretation of Quran through the sayings of the Sahaba) تفسیر الق

ابعین .4 ان باثار الت (Interpretation of Quran through the sayings of the Tabe’een) تفسیر الق

ۃ .5 ان باللغۃ العربی (Interpretation of Quran through the Arabic language) تفسیر الق

The Books of Tafseer Are Divided Into Two Catagories:

1. Tafseer Bil Mathoor: Are the books of Tafseer that are based on the abovementioned principle No. 1, 2, 3, 4. The most famous among them are the following eight:
