Tafsir al-Qurtubi (Arabic: تفسير القرطبي) is a 13th-century work of Qur'an exegesis (Arabic: tafsir) by the classical scholar Al-Qurtubi.[1] Considered one of the best and most iconic tafsirs to date.[citation needed] The tafsir of Al-Qurtubi is regarded as one of the most compendious exegesis of them all and is truly among the most popular. Tafsir al-Qurtubi is also known as Al-Jami' li Ahkam al-Qur'an (The General Judgments of the Qur’an) as its name suggests.
The basic objective of this tafsir was to deduce juristic injunctions and rulings from the Quran yet, while doing so, al-Qurtubi has also provided the explanation of verses, research into difficult words, discussion of diacritical marks and elegance of style and composition. The book has been published repeatedly.[1]
