Quran Tafsir Ibn Kathir & more [iPhone]

The app features four major tafsirs:

*** Tafsir Ibn Kathir ***
- Tafseer al-Qur'ān al-'Aẓeem (c. 1300) by Ibn-Kathir is one of the most famous Quranic Tafsirs. It links certain hadith and sayings of the sahaba to verses of the Qur'an, and avoided the use of Isra'iliyyats.

*** Maariful Quran ***
- Ma'ariful Qur'an (c. 1970) is an eight-volume tafsir of the Quran written by Pakistani Islamic scholar Mufti Muhammad Shafi. Originally written in Urdu, it is the most prominent work of its author.

*** Tafheemul Quran ***
- Tafhim-ul-Quran (1972) by Syed Abul Ala Maududi is a combination of orthodox and modernist interpretation and has deeply influenced modern Islamic thought. It is more than a traditional commentary on the scripture as it contains discussions and debates regarding economics, sociology, history, and politics.

*** Asabab Annuzul ***
- Kitab asbab al-Nuzul ('Book of occasions of revelation') by Ali ibn Ahmad al-Wahid (c. 1075) is the earliest and the most important work in the study of the historical context of Quranic revelations. Al-Wahidi mentions occasions of about 570 verses out of 6236 verses of the Quran. Wahidi's work is not only the first attempt to collect all the material regarding the occasions of revelation in one single volume, but it is also the standard upon which all subsequent works were based.
