The Best Tafsir

To better understand the words of God, Arabs and non-Arabs are advised to re-arrange the Glorious Quranic verses in the order they were revealed to Prohet+Messenger Mohammed (peace be on him). Only then, they will find answers to my questions

The Qur'an is in the most perfect order and there is no reason to re-arrange anything.
 
Thanks Brothers+Sisters with Flowers.
According to Ibn Kathir's interpretation to (3:7), which one is correct, A or B?
______________________A______________________
And none knows its interpretation, save only God and those firmly rooted in knowledge
They say: "We believe in it; all is from our Lord", yet none remembers, but men possessed of minds.
______________________B______________________
And none knows its interpretation, save only God.
And those firmly rooted in knowledge say:
"We believe in it; all is from our Lord", yet none remembers, but men possessed of minds.
______________________C______________________
If A, who are those firmly rooted in knowledge?
If B, how does Ibn Kathir know the interpretation of the Glorious Quran?
Answer A or B from what you understand from Ibn Kathir, please.
 
Surely, it is a Noble Quran, in a hidden Book. (56:77-79)
None handles (explains) it save the Purified ones (33:33)
They took (knowledge) directly from God through the truthful Prophet.
It is through them, not others, that God brings conquest.
It is through them, not others, that God sets the seal on successorship.
Or did I misunderstand?!

Tafsir versus verbatim translation

(Reply to a deleted post)

:sl:

Please read: http://www.islamicboard.com/667647-post4.html

:w:

edit: Only Muslims can ask me anything in this thread as I shall refuse to entertain anyone else. thanks for any help and consideration in advance!

edit2: in tafsir one is able to give background to an Ayah as just verbatim translation can be misused (by both Muslims and opponents of Islam) but with tafsir (explaination) one can understand the context as well as be directed to another ayah for further understanding. wasalam.

Re: Why tafsir and not verbatim translation?

So, if all the topics were comprehensively compiled, in revelation chronology, a verbatim interpretation would be possible?

Why are the revelations so enshrouded in all this unnecessary ambiguity? Does God not want perfect and faithful following?

Remember the Tasfir and the Hadith are not the direct word of Allah(swt) they are the conclusions and witnessing of events by scholars. this was written by men for men. Much was done at different times and places. What we have today is a compilation of efforts.

So far I have not found any Muslims who have had any problem with this arraignment. It works

I do not know of anybody who has ever tried to use Tasfir as a means to explain Islam to a non-Muslim. Far better that a person first becomes knowledgeable in the basics and the pillars of faith.

Once again to clarify, it is impossible to have a logical verbatim translation of Arabic into another language. To those of us who are reverts it is our duty to learn Arabic. It is not that difficult.

Could the Tasfir be translated into a reasonable approximation? Probably, but why? We are not asked to perform an impossible task and a Muslim revert is filled with an insatiable desire to learn Arabic.

I am certain that what I have said can be better stated Islamicaly, but this is my attempt at a general explanation. My brothers and Sisters may correct any errors I may have made in my explanation.

I can't better it except to add that in tafsir one is able to give background to an Ayah as just translation can be misused but with tafisir one can understand the context as well as be directed to another ayah for further understanding. wasalam.
