Background

Tafsir Ibn Kathir references other verses of the Qur'an in its commentary. The work references hadith and the opinions of the companions of the Prophet and the tabi'un. His work frequently quotes the early Muslim scholars Qatadah, Mujahid, Ikrimah, as well as later writers Muhammad Ibn Jareer al-Tabari and Sufyan al-Thawri.

Editions

In 2005, Jordanian Salafi scholar Muḥammad b. Musa Al Nasr published an abridged Arabic version of the tafsir that removed weak hadith and Isra'iliyyat traditions.[2] Tafsir Ibn Kathir has been translated into many languages including Indonesian, Bengali, English, French, Turkish, German and Urdu.[2] An Urdu translation was prepared by Moulana Muhammad Saheb Junagarhi.[3] In 2000, Darussalam Publishers published an abridged version of Tafsir Ibn Kathir translated by Saifur-Rahman al-Mubarakpuri and a team of scholars.[2] The version of Tafsir Ibn Kathir edited and translated by al-Mubarakpuri has become popular among English-speaking Muslims because of its simplicity and a dearth of English language tafsir. In 2006, 11 Muslim scholars translated the commentary into Swahili.[4]
