Al-Mīzān
A simplified tafsīr,
in your pocket.
All 6,236 verses of the Qur'an, each with a summarised reading
of Al-Mīzān fī Tafsīr al-Qurʾān by Allāmah Muḥammad Ḥusayn
Ṭabāṭabāʾī — one of the great commentaries, and one few readers ever get
through in full.
Every verse, four ways
- Context — where and why the verse was revealed
- Tafsīr — the verse phrase by phrase, with Ṭabāṭabāʾī's analysis
- Ahlul Bayt Narrations — from Nahjul Balagha and Al-Kafi, with the chain where known
- Themes & Insights — what the verse is doing, beyond the line itself
And
- Root words — every Arabic root, with each verse it appears in
- Search across verses, narrations and themes
- Bookmarks, reading progress, and a daily verse reminder
- Three reading themes, three text sizes
- Entirely offline. No account, no advertising, no tracking
The summaries in this app were produced with the assistance of
AI, guided by carefully written prompts, from Ṭabāṭabāʾī's original work. Every
effort has been made to represent the tafsīr faithfully, but an AI-assisted
summary cannot carry the full depth and rigour of the original. This is an
accessible way in — not a replacement for the complete text.
