Tafsir al-Jalalayn (Tafsir of the twin Jalals) is a classical Sunni tafsir of the Qur'an, composed first by Jalal ad-Din al-Mahalli and then completed by his student Jalal ad-Din as-Suyuti, thus its name. It is recognised as one of the most popular exegeses of the Qur'an today, due to its simple style and its conciseness: It being only one volume in length.
