The importance of understand the Tafsir what we recite from the Quraan By Dr Abdul-Aziz Sadhaan

Taddabur keeps your storage healthy and fit


Every single Muslim reads the Quraan but very little amongst them study the Tafsir of the Quraan i.e the meanings of what they recite and little give concern to the Tafsir. And we ask Allah that he makes it easier for me and you from that small group who study and give importance to Tafsir. Some people memorize a Surah just merely the wordings but if we were to ask such people what is the meaning of such and such word or what we lessons can we take from this Ayah i.e what is it telling us? You may not find any such answer.

I mention this in order to encourage and urge those who are negligent of seeking to understand the meaning of what they recite. We advise and encourage such people to read the Tafsir of the Quraan.

Let me run you through a practice example like Surah Al-Ikhlaas which we've all memorized. If someone says what is the meaning of As-Samad in the Ayah Allahu As-Samad. 

Also Surah Al-Falaq whats the meaning of Min sharri Ghaasiqin Idhaa Waqab? So whats the meaning of Ghaasiq? Whats the meaning of Waqab?

Surah Al-Aadiyaat what is the meaning of the word Al-Mooriyaat? And what is the meaning of Al-Mugheeraat? Whats the meaning of Ad-Dabhaa? Whats the meaning of Al-Aadiyaat?

Surah At-Takweer so what is the meaning of Al-Khunnas? What is the meaning of Al-Jawaar? What is the meaning of Al-Kunnas?

Surah An-Naazi'aat what is the meaning of of As-Saahira?

The words of the likes of these Ayaat if we understand there meanings it will increase our understanding of the Quraan. So if we read the Tafsir or the views of the Mufassireen of these words or Ayaat it increase there desire to listen to the recitation of the Quraan.

Shaykhul-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah says:

"The Prophet used to give concern in teaching his Sahaabah the meanings of the Quraan just as he used to give concern in teaching his Sahaabah its wordings."

So one just memorizes the Surah i.e its wordings like now in the Islamic world we have 1000's recitors of the Quraan they recite it with proper Makhaarij but however a Qaari of the Quraan in the time of the Salaf is the one who recites the Quran, understands its meaning and reflects over what he recites.

I advise the brothers to read tafsir of what he memorizes. So when you memorized Juz Amma then after that begin the study the Tafsir of Juz Amma. And we recommend the Tafsir of Shaykh As-Sa'dee which is from the best of the books of Tafsir.
