Recommended Books Of Tafsir With Context
I am sorry your answer has confused me even more. In the videos Ghamdi saab is saying the chapters and verses themselves make everything clear and there is no need for historical context. I am trying to explain Quran to a new converted Muslim. Giving the simple translation of Quran without tafseer and context makes it impossible for anyone to understand so verses are not that simple as stated in the video without context. Tafseers help establishing this context and understanding. So going back to the original question again, do you know any list of books/sources these scholars used for the tafseer? E.g. as mentioned above for surah Maida address is to Jews where Prophet was the ruler and had a state established and had agreements with some Jewish tribes as I read in tafseers. Where is this information in tafseers coming from? Must be some historical texts/books/reference materials. I am after that material.
