What is Quran Tafseer?
Qur'an Tafseer or Quran Exegesis, refers to the detailed explanation, interpretation, and commentary of the Qur'an to help readers understand its meanings, context, and teachings.
The word "tafseer" comes from the Arabic root "fassara," which means to explain or clarify.
Key Aspects of Tafseer:
- Explanation of Words: Tafseer helps explain the meanings of Arabic words, particularly those that may have multiple interpretations or archaic usage.
- Contextual Understanding: It provides the historical and cultural context in which the verses were revealed, known as Asbab al-Nuzul (Reasons for Revelation).
- Linguistic Analysis: Linguistic insights are often included to understand the deeper meanings of verses.
- Connections with Other Verses: Tafseer highlights the relationships between different parts of the Qur'an, emphasizing coherence and consistency in its message.
- Application of Verses: Tafseer often includes insights into how the teachings of the Qur'an apply to various aspects of life, both historically and in contemporary contexts.
Why is Learning Tafseer Important?
There are countless of extremist sects and deviant teachings around the world rooted from the misinterpretation of Qur’anic messages. Some would misuse some parts of the Quranic verses to serve their self-interest and agenda, which is contradictory to the teachings of Islam.
One of the most misused Qur’anic verse for extreme groups include:
وَٱقْتُلُوهُمْ حَيْثُ ثَقِفْتُمُوهُمْ وَأَخْرِجُوهُم مِّنْ حَيْثُ أَخْرَجُوكُمْ ۚ وَٱلْفِتْنَةُ أَشَدُّ مِنَ ٱلْقَتْلِ ۚ وَلَا تُقَـٰتِلُوهُمْ عِندَ ٱلْمَسْجِدِ ٱلْحَرَامِ حَتَّىٰ يُقَـٰتِلُوكُمْ فِيهِ ۖ فَإِن قَـٰتَلُوكُمْ فَٱقْتُلُوهُمْ ۗ كَذَٰلِكَ جَزَآءُ ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ
“Kill them wherever you encounter them, and drive them out from where they drove you out, for persecution is more serious than killing. Do not fight them at the Sacred Mosque unless they fight you there. If they do fight you, kill them- this is what such disbelievers deserve-” [Qur’an 2:191]
Another reason why learning Tafseer is essential is due to its immense benefit instead of just reciting without comprehension.
Sayyiduna Ibn Masʿud May Allah be pleased with him said, ‘There are people who recite the Qurʾan yet it does not descend beyond their throats; were it to reach the heart and take root therein, it is then that it would benefit.’
That is why it is crucial for Muslims to learn Tafseer to better understand the purpose of the verses, the hidden meanings and unfold a universe of knowledge to better serve and grow closer to Allah Almighty.
