[edit] Overview

This translation tends to use archaic English and is translated by a scholar who has neither of the translation languages as a mother tongue. The translation is heavily interspersed with commentaries and notes from At-Tabari, Al-Qurtubi and Ibn Kathir ^[1] making it difficult to read. This is a translation heavily influenced by Wahhabi views is best read with this in mind.
