    Peace Mazhar, All.

    Help!
    I need " tafseer" for Mazhar s post?

    Peace

    Alongside tafseer, I thing Mazhar also explained asbabul nazul. The Qur'an was revealed in stages to give answers to the the people of the Prophet's time who came to him with questions. Those ayahs are the only legitimate tafseer because they reveal information previously unheard of. So the verses of the Quran are the tafseer. Explanation is explanation. That's what I understood.

    Salaam

        Asbabul nuzul is reasons for revelation. It's a concept in traditional Islamic studies that some tafseer (exegesis) is derived from.
        If tafseer means New Revelation, then according to Qur'an, its verses were Tafseer to the Prophet's contemporaries who questioned why the Qur'an was revealed intermittently.

          Peace someoneoutthere.

          Are you saying there is" another book" besides Qoran called "Tafseer"?

          Peace

            @Good logic

            ...according to Qur'an, its verses were Tafseer

            So the verses of the Quran are the tafseer.

            So the Qur'anic definition of tafseer isn't exegesis, it is the new ayahs revealed to Mohammed (pbuh).

            Is that right Mazhar?

            Salaam

              Tafsir is commentary, so someone else's explanation of Allah's explanation.

              7.174, 75.19, 6.55, 4.26, 7.58 and others show that Allah gives the explanation in Quran, so Quran has it's own tafsir in it. peace

                Salaam

                25.32 Those who reject Faith say "Why is not the Qur'an revealed to him all at once? Thus (is it revealed), that We may strengthen thy heart thereby, and We have rehearsed it to thee in slow, well-arranged stages, gradually.
                25.33 And no question do they bring to thee but We reveal to thee the truth and the best explanation (thereof).

                if you think about the time of revelation there would be thousands of questions thrown at the prophet. He was told not to hasten with it.

                75.16 Move not thy tongue concerning the (Qur'an) to make haste therewith.
                75.17 It is for Us to collect it and to promulgate it
                75.18 But when We have promulgated it, follow thou its recital (as promulgated)
                75.19 Nay more, it is for Us to explain it (and make it clear)

                I don't go with the traditional hadith belief that each question thrown at him was then answered by revelation but more a 'shut up and wait, it's coming' type of thing. Point was that many were too much in haste and were more thinking about what to ask than trying to make sense of what was being revealed.

                peace

                  Just what I wanted to say. Its like throwing away the tafseer of ibn kathir and instead welcome the tafseer of someone else. Whats the point then? confused

                  Salam.

                  Why do you let Ibn Kathir explain the Qur'an to you?

                  If you follow Ibn Kathir, he will tell you things, for example, a very famous quote - "The earth is resting on the horns of a great bull. When he shakes his head he brings earthquakes."

                  Seriously? And how can people be so gullible?

                  The only book that the messenger delivered to the world is the Quran (619)
                  The sole mission of the messenger is to deliver the message (1635)
                  We have been commanded to follow the Quran alone (72-3; 1746)
                  The Quran contains everything that we need for guidance (1689)
                  God did not leave anything out of the Quran (63
                  The best hadith is the Quran (3923)
                  In which hadith, besides God and His revelations do they believe? (456)

                      Do we have something like Qur'an-alone tafseer? If so, where can I get it?

                      Thanks.
                      peace

                      Here is "Exposition of Holy Quran" by GA Parwez, written based on focusing Quran alone. It is actually not a word by word translation....you will find justification for this approach in the initial pages.

                      The first uploaded file in http//resurgentislam.com;

                      Alhamdulillah always
