Tadabbur-e-Qur'an: Pondering Over The Qur'an - Volume One: Tafsir of Surah al-Fatiha and Surah al-Baqarah

by Amin Ahsan Islahi

This English translation of the tafsir of Surah al-Fatihah and Surah al-Baqarah is part of the eight-volume Urdu tafsir, Tadabbur-e-Qur’an (Pondering over the Qur’an). This tafsir is based on the principle of coherence, and is perhaps the first sustained and successful attempt to demonstrate such coherence and to refute the oft-repeated allegation of the lack of order or integrity in the Qur’an. Without recognising and appreciating the coherence of the Qur’an, one may gain knowledge of certain commandments and teachings but will remain ignorant of the Qur’anic wisdom (hikmah) contained in its beautifully integrated and holistic message. The Urdu original was first published in 1967, the result of the life-long work of Amin Ahsan Islahi (1904-1997), a pre-eminent scholar of the Qur’an.

Love it! So scholarly and modern.. it is a revolutionary work in the Quranic Studies and Exegesis.

Bismillahir Rehmanir Raheem
This tafseer is full of mistakes. At many places the writer has ignored the authentic explanations done by the companions of Dear Prophet Muhammad (salallaho alayhay wa ehe wabarik wa sallam) and made his own views about the verses.
You will be surprised that there are very few Ahadith mentioned in the whole Tafseer.
How can you make your own explanations of Quran without consulting the Ahadith and the explanations made by the companions.
Do not read this tafseer.
The best tafseer is Tafseer Mazhari and Tafseer Jalaleen .
