Tafseer as-Sadi

In addition to the simplicity of Shaykh as-Sa‘di's writing, it is also articulate and eloquent. Consequently, for those newly acquainted with Tafsir and those new to Islam, this Tafsir provides an uncomplicated, deep and insightful comprehension into the meaning and explanation of the Qur'an. The uniqueness of this Tafsir is in the style used to explain the Ayat in a way similar to everyday writing, without listing the various prophetic sayings or statements of the scholars of Tafsir, which Shaykh As-Sa'di used as a basis of his Tafsir.

He explains the meanings and rulings indicated by the text without unnecessary elaboration, references to stories and reports of dubious provenance, or introducing ideas that are not relevant to the meaning of the verses. He also avoids detailed discussion of grammar, except in rare instances where it may help to clarify the meaning. His style is to mention what he thinks is the correct interpretation, without referring to other views, except in cases where there is also strong evidence to support the other view.
