    Introduction
    The Holy Quran was revealed to the Holy
    Prophet (pbuh) through angel Jibrail. It is
    the last book of Allah and Allah will guard
    it from corruption. The Holy quran says,
    “Surely we have revealed the reminder,
    and no doubt we will guard it from
    corruption”.
    Importance

    The Holy Quran is the first source


    of Islamic law
    Primary source of Islamic law
    It is the last word of Allah and is
    the supreme source of guidance.
    Its teachings are accepted by every Muslim without
    any question
    It is the complete code of life that guides us both as
    individuals and community.
    It is unchangeable and unamendable due to its
    D ivine nature
    It is also independent as a source of law whereas the
    other sources i.e. Hadith, Ijma and Qiyas are
    dependent on it.
    … ..And must be in line with the Holy Quran.
    Approval
    The Holy Quran says:
    “O you who believe! Obey Allah, and obey the
    Messenger(1), and those charged with authority among
    you(2), and if you differ in anything among yourself, refer it
    to Allah and His Messenger(3), if you believe in Allah and
    the last day”
    Here the phrase “Obey Allah” means obedience to the
    orders of Allah mentioned in the Holy Quran. Thus it is the
    source of Islamic law. The same verse also gives approval of
    other sources as well i.e. Hadith(1), Ijma (2)and Qiyas(3).
    Tafsir and Mufassir
    Tafsir: It is the
    interpretation of the Holy
    Quran
    Mufassir: The Muffasir is
    the one who interprets
    and clarifies meaning of
    the Holy Quran
    Why was Tafsir needed?
    •Following the death of Holy Prophet (SAW), the
    Muslims saw that there was need of Tafsir or
    clarification of some of the verses of the Holy Quran
    which seemed difficult to understand.

    • The Muslims soon discovered that the best


    explanation of the Holy Quran was when the Quran
    itself explained a teaching.
    E.g. Surah AL Maida verse one says:”…… Lawful to you are
    all beasts of cattle, with the exceptions named” .In this
    verse of Quran “ the exceptions named” are not outlined
    but a little later in the third verse of the same Surah the
    Quran clarifies the exceptions to which the earlier verse
    refers.

    This principle is called TAFSIR AL QURAN BIL QURAN i.e.


    “clarification of the Holy Quran by the Quran”.
    Sometimes the Holy Quran is explained by the Hadith of
    the Holy Prophet (PBUH) e.g. method of prayer.
    This is TAFSIR AL QURAN BIL HADITH or “clarification of the
    Holy Quran by the Hadith”.
