Tafsir al-Jalalayn (تفسير الجلالين) is one of the most widely read commentaries on the Quran in the Muslim world — prized for compressing the meaning of the entire Quran into a single, concise volume. This side-by-side edition places the Quranic text on one page and Jalalayn's commentary directly opposite it, making the two easy to read together.

تفسير الجلالين من أشهر كتب تفسير القرآن الكريم المنتشرة في العالم الإسلامي، ويتميز بإيجازه الشديد حيث يجمع تفسير القرآن كاملاً في مجلد واحد. تعرض هذه الطبعة النص القرآني في صفحة والتفسير في الصفحة المقابلة لتسهيل القراءة المتزامنة بينهما.

Who Wrote Tafsir al-Jalalayn?

The tafsir takes its name from its two authors, both known as "Jalal al-Din." Jalal al-Din al-Mahalli (791-864 AH / 1389-1459 CE), an Egyptian Shafi'i scholar, began the commentary — writing Surah al-Fatiha, then continuing from Surah al-Kahf through to the end of the Quran (Surah an-Nas). He died before completing the middle portion. His student, Jalal al-Din al-Suyuti (849-911 AH / 1445-1505 CE), one of the most prolific scholars in Islamic history, later completed the remaining commentary from Surah al-Baqarah through Surah al-Isra, matching al-Mahalli's style so closely that the two halves read as one continuous work.

سُمي هذا التفسير باسم مؤلفيه، وكلاهما يُدعى "جلال الدين". بدأ جلال الدين المحلي (791-864هـ / 1389-1459م) هذا التفسير، فكتب سورة الفاتحة ثم تابع من سورة الكهف إلى نهاية القرآن (سورة الناس)، وتوفي قبل أن يكمل الجزء الأوسط. فأكمل تلميذه جلال الدين السيوطي (849-911هـ / 1445-1505م) الباقي من سورة البقرة إلى سورة الإسراء، وقد حاكى أسلوب شيخه بدقة حتى بدا التفسير عملاً واحداً متصلاً.

What This Side-by-Side Edition Offers

Tafsir al-Jalalayn is known for its brevity — rather than lengthy discussions of grammar, hadith chains, or juristic debate, it explains each verse in the fewest words needed to convey its meaning, often inserting a short phrase directly into the flow of the text. This makes it one of the most memorised and widely taught tafsirs in traditional Islamic education. This small-size, side-by-side edition keeps the Quranic text on the left page and the corresponding tafsir on the right, so the two can be read together without flipping pages. At 385 pages, it stays compact enough to carry for daily study.

يشتهر تفسير الجلالين بإيجازه؛ فبدلاً من الإطالة في مسائل النحو أو سلاسل الأحاديث أو الخلافات الفقهية، يوضح كل آية بأقل عدد ممكن من الكلمات، وغالباً ما يُدرج التفسير مباشرة ضمن سياق النص. لهذا يُعد من أكثر التفاسير حفظاً وتدريساً في مناهج التعليم الإسلامي التقليدي. تحافظ هذه الطبعة الصغيرة الحجم والمتوازية على وضع النص القرآني في الصفحة اليسرى والتفسير المقابل له في الصفحة اليمنى، بحيث يمكن قراءتهما معاً دون تقليب الصفحات. ويبلغ عدد صفحاتها 385 صفحة، مما يجعلها عملية للحمل والمذاكرة اليومية.

Is Tafsir al-Jalalayn Authentic and Beginner-Friendly?

Tafsir al-Jalalayn is widely regarded as a sound and reliable tafsir, and it remains one of the most commonly recommended starting points for students beginning Quranic studies, thanks to its plain classical Arabic and concise explanations. Scholars have also noted a small number of places where its wording touches on the divine attributes in a way later scholars have qualified — Shaykh Ibn Baz, for example, described it as "a useful tafsir" while flagging this specific point. For readers who want additional clarification alongside it, the marginal commentary Hashiyat al-Sawi 'ala Tafsir al-Jalalayn is a well-known supplement, sold separately from this edition.

يُعد تفسير الجلالين من التفاسير المعتمدة والموثوقة، وهو من أكثر التفاسير التي يُنصح بها لطلاب العلم المبتدئين لسهولة أسلوبه ووضوح عباراته. وقد أشار بعض العلماء إلى مواضع قليلة تتعلق بصفات الله تحتاج إلى توضيح من كتب أخرى، حيث وصفه الشيخ ابن باز بأنه "تفسير مفيد" مع التنبيه على هذه النقطة تحديداً. ولمن يرغب في مزيد من التوضيح، هناك حاشية الصاوي على تفسير الجلالين، وهي حاشية معروفة تُباع بشكل منفصل عن هذه الطبعة.
