A Critical Study of Allama Ibn Kathir's methodology in the understanding of Exegetical Narrations

Abstract

Tafsir Ibn Katheer is generally said to be the best Tafsir in terms of understanding the Qur'an.  Allama Ibn Kathir during the discussion using the principles of cross-examination and modification presents the correct narrations.  He declares some narrations as weak while denying the wrong and irregular narrations. While sometimes different and contradictory narrations are collected. And trying to implement, they litigate between them. Allama Ibn Kathir, being convinced of the connection and order of the Holy Qur'an, describes the interrelationship and relevance of the verses in his commentary in such a way that the Holy Qur'an appears to be a coherent and organized book. If any Surah or verse is glorified, you mention it in your commentary. Allama Ibn Kathir, while commenting on the verses containing the rulings, has described the conflicting sayings and arguments of the jurists after discussing the jurisprudential issues.
