[[Tafsir|Tafsīr]] ({{langx|ar|تفسير}}, {{transliteration|ar|tafsīr}}, "interpretation") is the Arabic word for exegesis, commentary or explanation of the [[Qur'an]].<ref name=WDL1>{{cite web|title=al-Baydawi's "Anwar al-Tanzil wa Asrar al-Ta'wil" with Frontispiece|url=http://www.wdl.org/en/item/6803|publisher=[[World Digital Library]]|access-date=28 February 2013}}</ref> It explains those aspects of the Qur’an that cannot be known by reason and logic such as the context of the revelation or abrogation of a specific ''[[Āyah|ayah]]'' (verse). They are explained using reliable sources: other verses of Qur'an itself as some explain the other; the [[Hadith|hadiths]] of [[Muhammad|The Prophet]] as the Quran was [[Muhammad's first revelation|revealed on him]]; the narrations of the [[Companions of the Prophet|Prophet's companions]] as they were the main context and reason for the revelation of some specific verses of the Qur'an; and so on and so forth.<ref>See Izza Rohman, “Tafsir Al-Qur’an Bi Al-Qur’an as A Distinctive Methodology”, ''Advances in Social Science, Education and Humanities Research'' (ASSEHR), Volume 137, International Conference on Qur'an and Hadith Studies (ICQHS 2017), pp. 33-37.</ref> Such an author of ''tafsīr'' is a {{transliteration|ar|mufassir}} ({{lang|ar|'مُفسر}}, {{transliteration|ar|mufassir}}, plural: {{lang|ar|مفسرون}}, {{transliteration|ar|mufassirūn}}).
