Tafsir Ishraq Al-Ma'ani

Tafsir Ishraq al-Ma’ani is a commentary of the Qur'an in English language by an Indian Islamic scholar ‘Syed Iqbal Zaheer’, editor of the Bangalore based weekly Islamic magazine ‘Young Muslim Digest’. This 14-volume commentary is essentially a quintessence of Qur’anic commentaries (from both traditional and modern tafsirs).

The tafsir discusses as to how the Qur'an was understood by those who received it first: the Prophet Muhammad Sallalahu 'Alaihi Wa Salam, his immediate followers RadiaAllahu 'Anhum, and further in order of interest and importance how the scholars of Islam have in every age. It also presents useful notes, variant notes, variant opinions, anecdotes and legal points – from commentaries old and new.
