The publication of this book is a landmark in the history of Islamic literature in English. With this work, for the first time, a complete translation of one of the great classical commentaries on the Holy Qur an becomes available to English-speaking readers. Tafsir al-Jalalayn, meaning 'The Commentary of the Two Jalals' is named after its two authors: Jalalu d-Din al-Mahalli (1389-1459), who wrote half of it, and his student, Jalalu d-Din as-Su~uti (1445-1505), one of the greatest Muslim scholars of all, who completed it after al-Mahalli s death. For half a millennium Tafsir al-Jalalayn has been considered the essential first step in the study of the meanings of the Qur an by teachers and students throughout the Islamic world Although it is among the shortest and simplest .of the complete commentaries, it is at the same time both wide-ranging and profound This translation gives non-Arabic speakers access to one of the seminal works of classical tafsir literature. It is hoped that it will prove a valuable aid to the correct understanding of the Qur anic Revelation throughout the English-speaking world. Explained by: Jalalu d-din muhammad ibn ahmad al-mahalli (791-864/1389-1459) of Cairo was a versatile, scholar who excelled in jurisprudence, theology, grammar, rhetoric, and Qur anic commentary. He was known for his scrupulousness, fear of Allah, and fearlessness in upholding the truth. Al-Mahalli was offered the highest judicial positions but refused them. He taugh jurisprudence in the Mu ayyadiyya and Barquqiyya madrasas. Abstinent and ascetic, he lived on what he earned by trade. His most famous work is his Qur anic commentary, Tafsir al-Jalalayn, which he began halfway through the text with Surat al-Kahf, ending with an-Nas and al-Fatiha.. Although he died before he could start the other half, the work was completed by his student, Jalalu d-Din as-Suyuti. Al-Mahalli s other books include commentaries on Jam al-Jawami , al-Burda, al-Manahij fi l-fiqh, al-Waraqat fi l-usul, Kitab al Jihad. - Abd al-Rahman ibn Kamal al-Din Abi Bakr ibn Muhammad ibn Sabiq al-Din, Jalal al-Din al-Misri al-Suyuti al-Shafi`i al-Ash`ari, also known as Ibn al-Asyuti 849-911AH /1445-1505),, the mujtahid imam and renewer of the tenth Islamic century, foremost hadith master, encyclopedist, historian, and biographer and probably one of the most prolific of all Islamic writers. There are an enormous number of his essays and treatises preserved today. A number of his writings concerned scientific topics or issues related to natural science and food and regimen, amongst other things From Asyut in Egypt,he was among the most renowned and prolific Muslim scholars of all time. He wrote more than 300 books, covering every aspect of the Islamic sciences. He memorized the Qur an at the age of eight, and then went on to study with more than 150 scholars. He travelled extensively in his quest for knowledge to Damascus, Hijaz, Yemen, India, Morocco, and the lands south of Morocco, as well as in Egypt. Al-Suyuti devoted his life to learning, teaching and writing. He was noble, abstinent and self-sufficient, distancing himself from people of rank and power and living on what he earned by teaching. Major writings of al-Suyuti that remain widely used today include al-Itqan, on the Qur anic sciences; and Tafsir al-Jalalayn, which he completed when only 22.

Fantastic commentary

Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2013

Verified Purchase

This is THE definitive tafsir (commentary of the Qur'an). The Qur'an, like the Bible, is not a book that can just be picked up and casually read. There's so much meaning behind every word and every verse. The commentary in this one makes it easy to understand as much as possible without actually knowing how to read Arabic or being a Qur'an scholar. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a better understanding of Islam and what the Qur'an says and why it says it.

I would highly recommend the Tafsir to everyone. It is not too long but at the same time gives a nice background and the context of the Ayats. The interpretation of the Ayats is also very well done. I was particularly happy to see that the interpretation of the Ayats was in bold letters while the background information and the author's own commentary (interspersed between the interpretation of the Ayats) was in normal (no bold) text. This makes it very easy to see what is directly attributed to the narrower interpretation of the Ayats and what is the author's own judgement regarding the broader explanation/context of the Ayats. The Tafsir comes highly recommneded by Sh. Hamza Yusuf in one of his lectures. I would recommend it very very highly.

unable to see "BOLD/ITALIC" for Qur'an Ayats any more

Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2017

Giving one star, for formatting - unable to see "BOLD/ITALIC" for Qur'an any more. All is coming in plain, hard to distinguish between Quran & Tafsir. Please FIX ASAP.

One of the best sunni tafsir. easy to read and concise. best translation into English Aisha Bewley.
Best part of the book is - Quranic ayat's are in bold and tafsir in normal text - which makes it very easy to differentiated between tafsir and ayats.
Great work!

A great classical Tafsir book - now in English

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 11, 2015

Verified Purchase

The work of an eminent Islamic judge of the past Jalalu-Din Al Mahalli completed by his student, Jalalu-Din As-Sayuti. Hence the term Jalalayn meaning 'the two Jalal's'.

It is a translation and explanation (Tafsir) of the sacred book of Islam - the Holy Quran. It is all in one volume so accessible to the lay reader. I am not aware of any shortcomings in this work, except if you would like more detail then you need to choose another Tafsir work.

Alhamdulillah and thank you for this translation. One thing however is that it is quite a big and heavy book so I find it hard to easily take out and refer to. But I have enjoyed reading it and am grateful for the translation

Although I appreciate the contents. the Kindle version of this product was full of strange characters and was not edited well at all for the kindle format. on every single page there are words with strange characters in-between and some illegible. I was heavily disappointed by the lack of thought the kindle version was given.
