The literal meaning of\u00a0Tafseer\u00a0in the Arabic language is to open or to explain, interpret or comment. Technically, the science of\u00a0Tafseer\u00a0is a branch of knowledge in which the meanings of\u00a0the Quran are\u00a0explained\u00a0and its injunctions and wisdoms are described openly and clearly (al-Burhan).<\/p>\n
It should be noted that the Holy Prophet SAW not only taught the words of the Quran to the\u00a0people\u00a0but he also explained them in detail.\u00a0This is why, on some occasions, the revered Companions had to devote years at a time to learning a single surah.<\/p>\n
Until such time that the Holy Prophet SAW graced the mortal world with his presence, seeking the explanation of a Quranic verse did not pose much of a problem. When the Companions faced any difficulty in understanding a verse, they would simply turn to the Prophet (upon him blessings and peace). Later, however, it became necessary that the\u00a0Tafseer\u00a0of the Quran be preserved as a permanent branch of knowledge so that, along with the words of the Noble Quran, its correct meaning remain protected and conserved for the Muslim Ummah as well, and so heretics and deviants could find no room for distortion of its meanings. So, with the grace and\u00a0tawfiq\u00a0of Allah SWT Almighty, the Ummah accomplished this wonderful mission with such efficiency that today we can say without any doubt or fear of rebuttal that not only have the words of this Last Book of Allah SWT been protected but also its correct explanation transmitted to us through the Holy Prophet and his Companions.<\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” gap=”30″ equal_height=”yes” bg_type=”image” parallax_style=”vcpb-vz-jquery” bg_image_new=”id^882|url^https:\/\/mpitmigrate.360metrics.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/slider_2.jpg|caption^null|alt^null|title^slider_2|description^null” css=”.vc_custom_1592251388010{padding-top: 80px !important;padding-bottom: 80px !important;}”][vc_column]
Firstly, it tries to explain the Quran so that the understanding of the reader about\u00a0Quran and its message increases. Reading only the translation can give the literal meanings of the words of Quran, however,\u00a0Tafseer\u00a0comes with context in which a\u00a0particular Ayah\u00a0was revealed, hence giving a context to each and every word, which consequently means a better understanding of Quran and its verses.<\/p>\n
Secondly,\u00a0Tafseer\u00a0is also important when it comes to driving out the laws of Islam from Quran. Verses of Quran come with instructions, and then there are the hadiths of Prophet (PBUH) that also gives\u00a0instructions. Thus,\u00a0Tafseer\u00a0combines both and gives a complete and comprehendible set of instructions to the reader.<\/p>\n
Thirdly, when there is no science involved in the interpretation of Quran, then ambiguity and contradiction is surely to rise. When there\u00a0is\u00a0Tafseer\u00a0of Quran available, that contains the scientific method of analysis of verses, the chances of ambiguity and conflict decrease. Hence, instead of ambiguous interpretations there are clear explanations.<\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1592246009983{padding-top: 35px !important;padding-bottom: 35px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″]
