[Zeal]

Are there any short tafseer books going through all the surahs in English?

Im just looking for something basic that would aid me in memorising quran

I mostly listen to podcasts like nouman Ali khan has a very in depth tafsir in English in Surat al baqara and has more then 50 parts each part is somtimes over a hour or somtimes just a hour if you have a iPhone you can download the podcasts for free each takes about 50 megabytes but idk that's not a book

 

[eesa the kiwi]

Ibn kathirs tafsir has been translated and I find it excellent

It is huge however but it's probably the best you'll find in English

Asalaamualaykum
There is a difference between translation & Tafseer.
Translation is normally side by side with just almost a word for word translation of the Arabic side. Here and there you might find footnotes.

Tafseer is the Translation expanded which means Tafseer by nature will be much much longer than Translation.

All Tafseers will be long - so to find a short Tafseer will be hard.
Example:
Most Translations of Surah Fathiya is one page side by side.
Ibn Khateers Tafseer of Surah Fathiya is aprox 90 pages depending on the print.

Wasalaam.
