Guiding Light: Which Tafsir Should I Start With?

Salaam, everyone. I come from a Muslim family, but during my early 20s, I drifted away from Islam and belief in one God. Lately, though, with many reflections and experiences, I've felt the pull to return. Instead of just reciting the Quran in Arabic-which I don't fully understand-I want to dive deeper into Allah's words by reading a tafsir. I'm stuck between two choices and could use some advice on which might be best for someone reconnecting with their faith: 1. Bayyan ul Quran by Dr. Israr Ahmed 2. Tafheem ul Quran by Abul A'la Maududi If you've explored these or have other suggestions, I'd appreciate your insights. May Allah make this journey beneficial for all of us.

May Allah accept your return. I'd suggest Tafheem ul Quran by Maududi as a great start. It's very clear and helped me understand many concepts.

Both are solid. Personally, I found Bayyan ul Quran more engaging for spiritual depth. Dr. Israr's explanations just hit different.

Consider 'Fi Zilal al-Quran' by Sayyid Qutb as another option for deeper reflection. But between your two, I'd pick Bayyan.

Tafheem is a classic for a reason. Accessible and thorough.

Start with Tafheem, it's very structured and reader-friendly. Welcome back, brother.
