As-salaamu `alaykum wa rahmatullaah

Long lost treasure found! 😀

Ok, so I never had it in the first place that I should have lost it but mashaa’Allaah tabaraka’Allaah I’ve found something that I’ve been looking for, for a very long time:

A concise comparison between all the major tafaaseer!

For those interested, below is an audio compilation/series in arabic by Sh. Abd al-Rahmaan al-Shahri found on the ahlal tafsir website. In it, he details out the different tafseers – classic and contemporary, and also gives background information on each of the scholars. Masha’Allaah, I highly recommend everyone to probably go through these audios before intending to buy a tafseer set, or if you’re interested in knowing the approaches taken by the mufassireen and what their respective tafaseer focus more on in comparison to others.

Enjoy!
