To enrich our reading of the Quran in the coming month of Ramadan, Al-Furqaan has embedded the summarized translation of Tafsir Ibn Kathir published by Darussalam on our website. Click here to browse the page. Produced below is a brief description of Tafsir Ibn Kathir:
Tafsîr Ibn Kathîr, by Isma’il bin ‘Amr bin Kathîr al-Dimashqî (d.774/1372) under the title Tafsîr al-Qur’ân al-Azîm, one of the better-known books on tafsîr, perhaps second to Tabarî, with more emphasis on soundness of reports, in particular rejection of all foreign influences such as isrâ’îlîyât, discussing the sanad of various reports often in detail, which makes it one of the more valuable books of tafsîr. Makes much use of tafsîr al-Qur’ân bi’l Qur’ân, referring a reader to other relevant ayat on the topic discussed. This book has been printed on various occasions (in 8 volumes) and an abridged version (mukhtasar) has been edited by Sâbûnî.
No English translation available.This book although of greatest importance to Muslims has been widely ignored by the orientalists. (description taken from islamic-awareness.org)
