Al-Mīzān fī tafsīr al-Qur'ān , often known as Tafsīr al-mīzān, is one of the most comprehensive and lengthiest exegeses of the Qur'an in Arabic, authored by Sayyid Muhammad Husayn Tabataba'i (d. 1402-1981).
Al-Mizan is an ordinal exegesis of the Qur'an, which is organized by the order of the Qur'anic suras and verses, and its methodology is the exegesis of the Qur'an by appeal to the Qur'an itself, which means interpreting a Qur'anic verse in terms of other verses of the Qur'an. In virtue of its intellectual honesty and fairness, accuracy and depth, al-Mizan has attracted the attention of Shi'a and Sunni scholars and found a place as one of the most reliable sources of inquiry about the Qur'an. Soon after its publication, tens of books and hundreds of articles and dissertations were written about it.
One of the significant advantages of this exegesis is its profound inquiries about important issues such as the miraculous character of the Qur'an, the stories of the prophets, the human soul and spirit, God's response to people's prayers, monotheism, repentance, divine sustenance, divine blessings, jihad, annulment of actions, which are discussed when relevant to the verse that is being interpreted.
This exegesis has been translated into and published in Persian, English, Urdu, Turkish, and Spanish.
Sayyid Muhammad Husayn Tabataba'i, the well-known Islamic philosopher and interpreter of the Qur'an, was born in Dhu l-Hijja 29, 1321/March 17, 1904, in the village of Shadagan near Tabriz. In 1927, he went to Najaf and studied with Shiite scholars such as Muhammad Husayn Gharawi Isfahani, Muhammad Husayn Na'ini, Sayyid Muhammad Hujjat Kuhkamara'i, Husayn Badkuba'i, Abu l-Qasim Khwansari, and Sayyid 'Ali Qadi Tabataba'i........
