Tafsir literature refers to the body of work that provides commentary and interpretation of the Quran, the holy book of Islam. Scholars in this field analyze the text to explain its meanings, context, and implications, helping readers understand the teachings and guidance within the Quran. These commentaries can vary in style and depth, ranging from simple explanations for laypeople to complex analyses for advanced scholars. Prominent works in Tafsir literature include Tafsir al-Jalalayn and Tafsir Ibn Kathir, which are widely studied in the Muslim world for their insights and clarity.
