Quranic exegesis

page 1
Al-Qalam
The Pen (, al-qalam), or Nūn (Arabic: نٓ) is the sixty-eighth chapter (sūrah) of the Qur'an with 52 verses (āyāt). Quran 68 describes God's justice and the judgment day. Three notable themes of this Surah are its response to the opponents' objections, warning and admonition to the disbelievers, and exhortation of patience to the Islamic prophet Muhammad. Chronologically, this was the first appearance of any of the "disjointed" [i.e., single] letters (muqattaat) which precede a number of the surahs of the Qur'an, while in Quranic order this is the last surah to have the appearance of muqattaat.
tafsir
Tafsir ( ; ) refers to an exegesis, or commentary, of the Quran. An author of a tafsir is a '''''''' (; plural: ). A Quranic tafsir'' attempts to provide education, explanation, interpretation, context or commentary for clear understanding and conviction of God's will in Islam. The idea of the interpretation of the Quran first appears in the Quran itself, commenting on cases where it is clear and others where it is ambiguous (3:7).
