YouTube Video Playlist: Al-Tafsir al-Kabir: Imam Fakhr al-din al-Razi (d.606 AH)-Dr Sulayman Van Ael

Al-Tafsir al-Kabir: This is the work of Imam Fakhr al-din al-Razi (died 606 Hijrah). Its real name is Mafatih al-Ghayb, but is popularly known as Tafsir Kabir'. He is an imam of the theology of Islam, therefore, great emphasis has been laid in his Tafsir on rational and scholastic debates and on the refutation of false sects'. But, the truth is that this Tafsir is, in its own way, a unique key to the Qur'an as well. Furthermore, the pleasing way in which the meanings of the Qur'an have been clarified and the mutual link of the Qur'anic verses established, is all too praise-worthy. Instructor: Ustaad Sulayman Van Ael delivers the class in his unique style , summarising this huge work in a relatable manner, one which can be implemented in our daily lives
