Tafsir Ibn Kathir (Tafseer ibne Kaseer): Tafsir means explanation of Quran. The best way to explain any Quranic Verse is to support it first with various other related Quranic Verses. Afterwards, Hadith is used for strengthening such an explanation or Tafsir. To find, collect and present the related Quranic Verses and Hadith are one of the greatest jobs that was achieved by Imam Ibn Kathir.
Tafsir al-Qur'an al-Azim, popularly Tafsir ibn Kathir is a classic Sunni Islam tafsir (commentary of the Qur'an) by Ibn Kathir. It is considered to be a summary of the earlier Tafsir al-Tabari. It is especially popular because it uses the hadith to explain each verse and chapter of the Qur'an. It has been translated into many languages including English, Bengali, and Urdu.
Ibn Kathīr (ابن كثير) was a highly influential historian, exegete and scholar during the Mamluk era in Syria. An expert on tafsir (Quranic exegesis) and faqīh (jurisprudence), he wrote several books, including a fourteen-volume universal history.
Ibn Kathir (Kasir / Kaseer) wrote a famous commentary on the Qur'an named Tafseer al-Qurʾān al-ʿAẓeem which linked certain hadith (hadees), or sayings of Muhammad, and sayings of the sahaba to verses of the Quran, in explanation and avoided the use of Isra'iliyyats. Many Sunni Muslims hold his commentary as the best after Tafsir al-Tabari and it is highly regarded especially among Salafi school of thought. Although Ibn Kathir claimed to rely on at-Tabari, he introduced new methods and differs in content, in attempt to clear Islam from that he evaluates as Isra'iliyyat. His suspicion on Isra'iliyyat possibly derived from Ibn Taimiyya's influence, who discounted much of the exegetical tradition since then.
Egyptian scholar Ahmad Muhammad Shakir edited Ibn Kathir's Tafsir (Tafseer) as ʿUmdat at-Tafsīr in five volumes published during 1956–1958.
His tafsir gained widespread popularity in modern times, especially among Western Muslims, probably due to his straight approach, but also due to lack of alternative translations of traditional tafsirs.
Faḍāʾil al-Qurʾān / Fazail e Quran (فضائل القرآن) was intended as an annex to the Tafsir. It is a brief textual history of the Kuran (Koran) and its collection after the death of Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH).
Hadith
