Answer:
Translation of Quran in Tafseer
In the name of Allah, We praise
Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can
misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We
bear witness that there is no one (no idol,
no person, no grave, no
prophet, no imam, no dai, nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone,
and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of
His Messengers.
All Praise is due to Allah
Alone, Who has guided the believers to the Truth of Islam. May Allah Subhanah
reward you with the best of this life and the hereafter for your kind words of encouragement.
Your Question: My question is that do you ppl also have the The TASHREE, I

We have provided a link from our
website, which will take you directly to the translation of the Glorious Quran in the English language by Brother Abdulla Yusuf Ali. Please
do bear in mind that the link will take you only to a translation; not to the tafseer.
We are not aware of any site on
the internet, which has the whole detailed tafseer
of the Glorious Quran in the English language; but
are sure there must be one. We will
look into this matter and if we find any, we will mail you the address of that
site, Insha Allah.
The easiest way to get access to
the detailed tafseer of the Glorious Quran in the English language is from an Islamic Bookstore
or Islamic Library. Many eminent
scholars have written the tafseer or detailed
translation of the Glorious Quran in the English
language. May Allah accept their
efforts, be Merciful to them, and grant them honor on the Day when all will be
gathered in the Court of Allah Subhanah.
In our humble opinion, among the
best tafseers of the Glorious Quran
in the English language are:
Tafseer Ibn Katheer
This work by Ibn Katheer was originally
written in Arabic and is available in 8 or 10 volumes in the English
language.
The Meaning of the Quran by Syed Abul
Aala Maududi
. This work by
Syed Maududi was originally
written in Urdu, and is available in 6 volumes in the English language.
Tafseer-ul-Quran by Syed Kutub
.. This work by
Brother Syed Kutub is
probably amongst the best tafseer of the Glorious Quran and is originally in the Arabic language. (We are not sure if it has been translated
into the English language yet.)
May Allah bless and increase
your quest for the knowledge of Truth from the Glorious Quran. Reading the translation of the Quran will give you a very good idea of the Message of the
Lord of the Worlds
but the reading and studying of the tafseer
or detailed explanation of the Quran, will greatly
enhance your knowledge of this Divine Book.
It will give you detailed explanation of the period of the Revelation,
specific details of the times of where and when the Surahs
and aayahs were revealed, under what conditions, and
how the Messenger of Allah (saws), his noble companions, and his noble ahle-bayt understood the specific aayahs,
and implemented the commands of Allah Subhanah in
their lives.
If Allah Subhanah
has already blessed one to read the translation of the Quran;
it would really enhance ones knowledge, if one studies the tafseer of the Glorious Quran.
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only
due to Allahs Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only
Source of Strength.
Your Brother in Islam,
