Al-Mizan fi Tafsir al-Qur'an (Template:Langx, "The balance in Interpretation of Quran"), more commonly known as Tafsir al-Mizan (Script error: No such module "Lang".) or simply Al-Mizan (Script error: No such module "Lang".),[1] is a tafsir (exegesis of the Quran) written by the Shia Muslim scholar and philosopher Allamah Sayyid Muhammad Husayn Tabataba'i (1892–1981).[2][3]

The book consists of 27 volumes originally written in Arabic.[3] Up till now more than three editions have been printed in Iran and Lebanon.[2]

Method

Template:Quote

Allameh Tabatabaei's method for interpretation of the Qur'an is the so-called Quran by Quran method.[4] In his book Qur'an dar Islam ("The [place of the] Qur'an in Islam"), Tabataba'i discusses the problem of the interpretation of the Qur'an. Pointing to the interrelatedness of the Quranic verses and arguing based on some Quranic verses and Islamic tradition, he concludes that a valid interpretation of Quran could be achieved only through contemplation of all other related verses, and consulting Islamic traditions whenever it is necessary.[5]

Translations

Tafsir al-Mizan was translated into English (first 13 volumes out of 40) by author and renowned Shia preacher Syed Saeed Akhtar Rizvi.[6][3] The rest of the translation work is undertaken by various translators and managed and funded by Tawheed Institute Australia.
