Q: Is it permissible to give a non Muslim a tafsir of the Quran with ayat in Arabic? 

Q: I am unable to get how Hafiz ibn Kathir explained Quran in detail in his Tafseer, ie. Introduction of new words like bin kind etc... From what source ibn Kathir rahimahullah learned these things, I am very curious to know about that.

Q: In Quran, in a verse, Allah said that"Aur woh firon jo ulti bastion main rehtay thay" What is the meaning of this verse or what Allah is saying in this verse. Please explain in detail so I can understand.

Q: In the 10th para, the last page of the first quarter. And surah bara'at, Ayat 20,

1) Does tabligh jamaat come under this Ayat? Or does it refer to qitaal and fighting in jihaad only?

2) Does hijrat include the coming out of the home for 4 months like the tabligh jamaat does?

Q: I have come across an aayaat or Ahaadith that state the following: Allah loves it when.....Allah loves those who are...Allah loves this....Allah loves that if one.....etc. So My question is:

1.) What are the virtues or reward in doing those things that Allah loves?

2.) When you do those things that Allah loves, will you get his mercy and pleasure?

Q: Well we know that there is no whale beneath earth? Here is the explanation from تفسير Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn Abbas

And from his narration on the authority of Ibn 'Abbas that he said regarding the interpretation of Allah's saying (Nun): '(Nun) He says: Allah swears by the Nun, which is the whale that carries the earths on its back while in Water, and beneath which is the Bull and under the Bull is the Rock and under the Rock is the Dust and none knows what is under the Dust save Allah. The name of the whale is Liwash, and it is said its name is Lutiaya'; the name of the bull is Bahamut, and some say its name is Talhut or Liyona. The whale is in a sea called 'Adwad, and it is like a small bull in a huge sea. The sea is in a hollowed rock whereby there is 4,000 cracks, and from each crack water springs out to the earth. It is also said that Nun is one of the names of the Lord; it stands for the letter Nun in Allah's name al-Rahman (the Beneficent); and it is also said that a Nun is an inkwell. (By the pen) Allah swore by the pen. This pen is made of light and its height is equal to the distance between Heaven and earth. It is with this pen that the Wise Remembrance, i.e. the Guarded Tablet, was written. It is also said that the pen is one of the angels by whom Allah has sworn, (and that which they write (therewith)) and Allah also swore by what the angels write down of the works of the children of Adam.

Q: What do you say about the Quranic verse 7 Surah Baqarah in which Allah Ta'ala says about the seal on hearts and eyes?

Q: In tafsir jalalayn by Allama Suyuti on this verse describing the hoor al ayn "And with them will be chaste females, restraining their glances (desiring none except their husbands), with wide and beautiful eyes; (Delicate and pure) as if they were (hidden) eggs (well) preserved." [Sura As-Saffaat]

كأنهن ** في اللون بيض ** للنعام مكنون ** مستور بريشه لا يصل إليه غبار، ولونه وهو البياض في صفرة، أحسن ألوان النساء

What is meant by white mixed with yellow? Does it mean a tan/light brown skin complexion?

Q: What is the meaning of al-marjan(corals). I thought corals were red, but I heard al-marjan refers to whiteness.
