Story Behind This Book

How can we understand the interpretation of the Quran? Some verses of the Quran interpret others whereas some from instructions of the Holy Prophet (PBUH). Another source of Quranic commentary is the sayings of the Prophet Muhammad’s (PBUH) Companions.The Salaf instructed many rules and regulations about the interpretation of the Quran in detail. All these rules are helpful in the correct method of Tafsir and there are a lot of books on it too but they are often difficult for the average person to understand. Hence there was a need for a comprehensive yet understandable tafsir for the average reader.Among the famous interpreters of the Quran is, Sheikh Abdurrahman bin Nasir bin Abdullah bin Nasir as- Sa'di (R.A). He wrote a tafsir with the Arabic title تيسير الكريم الرحمن في تفسير كلام المنان which is also widely known as تفسير السعدي (Tafsir As-Sa’di)
