Assalamu alaiki.

Tafsir means literary to translate and give meaning to an incident mentioned in the Qur'an. There are many branches of Tafsir probably about 8. Tafsir will last as long as the world exists.

Hello sis,
 
How are you doing ?
 
I appreciate you  posting different and intresting questions. Keep posting. Clap
 
Tafseer means to interpret and explain.
 
When we say tafseer of Qur'an , it means to get proper understanding of a verse of Qur'an. Like it's meaning, reason of revelation, i mean it's commentary--. It's important to read tafseer to get correct understanding of an ayah.
 
I welcome more questions from you
 
 
Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: �All the descendants of Adam are sinners, and the best of sinners are those who repent."
