The Authentic Exegesis of Ibn Kathîr (Sahîh Tafsîr Ibn Kathîr), the critical edition Mustafâ Ibn Al-'Adawî

The most beautiful offering by which the servant draws near to God the Most High and wins his favor is to learn the Book of God and the Sunnah of his messenger, and to teach them to others. The Most High says: “Be masters since you teach and study the Book” (Imran's family: 79) . Furthermore, the Prophet (SWS) affirms: “The best among you is he who learns the Quran and teaches it to others. »

Thus, superiority proceeds from the learning and teaching of the Koran, as well as from the application of its precepts. This is why, in addition to the fact that the scholars of the Koran are close to God and his intimates, we have proposed to deliver ourselves to the explanation of the book of God. Driven by the desire to make this explanation accessible to people, we have developed - by the grace of God - a working method based on the most popular exegesis, that of the learned Al - Hâfid Ibn Kathîr - may God the Most High l be in his holy mercy. We have endeavored to summarize this exegesis and to study the hadiths by making a critical examination of them.

This Compendium, which we owe to Sheikh Mustafa Al-'Adawi, who stripped the original text of Ibn Katir's tafsir of repetitions and lengths, thus sparing non-specialist readers the weariness caused by reading and examining the questions. very detailed that it includes. The author spares the readers the discussions, the palaver, the chains of transmitters, the additional developments and the interminable journeys inherent in any demonstration. It also frees it from all interpretations based on Judeo-Christian references.
