What is this?
Jami al-bayan an tawil ay al-Quran is the most authoritative classical Quran commentary: prophetic narrations, sayings of the companions and their successors, linguistic analysis, and at-Tabari's own judgement — gathered around every verse. We have translated it fully and faithfully into Dutch.
All 6,236 verses of the Quran — 100% covered, no gaps. Missing passages were filled from the original printed edition.
A strict anti-softening protocol: at-Tabari's words as he wrote them, with full chains of transmission. Nothing softened, nothing left out.
Find passages by keyword and by meaning — semantic search finds the right verse even when you don't know the exact words.
Fully readable offline and installable as an app. Read wherever you are, without a connection.

“And We have sent down to you the Book as a clarification of all things.” — an-Nahl 16:89
Each verse stands surrounded by the narrations that explain it — translated word for word, with the chains written out in full.
