The Meaning of the Qur'an (Arabic: Tafhim al-Qur'an[1]) is a book in six volumes written by the Islamic scholar Sayyid Abul Ala Maududi (1903-1979). Among the newer ones, this is one of the most prominent exegeses of the Qur'an (Arabic: tafsir), based on the Sunni hadith literature.

Among things, it includes a chapter introductions for each and every Surah, explaining the name, period of revelation and a large section on its historical background.
