Tafsir

snakelegs · **Tafsir -** 09-13-2006

i recently discovered that there is a body of writings which are commentaries on the verses in the qur'an (correct me if i'm wrong)...
are the tafsir universally accepted in islam?
is there a complete collection of them or are there many single collections?
is it possible to read tafsir on line?
thanks.

Yes, you are exactly right and there are single collections in volumes commentating the whole Qur'an...

There not necessarily universally accepted but they are commonly used, especially Ibn Kathir, his is very trusted, but that's mainly because he used authentic hadith (most of the time), one that I use is In the Shade of the Qur'an by Syed QUtb, despite some inccuracis it's very good and I usually turn to these tafsirs when I don't understand a particular verse but I don't know any sites that have anything like that, no.

Imam Ibn Kaseer (Hafiz Imaduddin Abulfida) was born on 701 Hijri Year in Basra city of Syria and died in 774 Hijri Year in Damascus, Syria. His name is on top of the list of those Muslim Scholars who served Quran via life-time scholarly efforts. His "Tafseer Ibne Kaseer" stands out amongst all other explanations or tafseers of Quran as does Sahih Bokhari from all other books of Hadith. Moulana Muhammad Junagarhi (1890-1941) from Junagarh, India translated it into Urdu language in 1930.
