Understanding Tafseer: The Key to Unlocking the Quran’s Wisdom
Tafseer, meaning interpretation or explanation, is a critical discipline in Islamic scholarship that helps Muslims understand the deeper meanings and context of the Quran. The Quran, being the holy book of Islam, contains verses revealed over 23 years addressing various issues including spirituality, law, guidance, and morality. Without proper explanation, some verses may seem complex or unclear to many readers. This is where tafseer plays an essential role.
