Tafsir al-Qur'an al-Azim, popularly Tafsir ibn Kathir ^[1], 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 by Tabari, Tafsir al-Tabari. It is especially popular because it uses 'hadith' to explain each verse and chapter of the Qur'an.
