'''Tafsir''' (تفسير, ''tafsīr'', "interpretation") is the [[Arabic]] word for exegesis or commentary, usually of the [[Qur'an]]. An author of tafsīr is a'' mufassir مفسر''. The tafsir of the Qur'an as a collective, in all of their various forms, constitute one of the essential pieces of Islamic religious teaching and practice. The practice of tafsir began within the second Islamic century (the 8th century in the common era) and continues up to the present day. Islam is thus somewhat unique amongst the large world religions in that as a religion it continues to produce a type of sacred literature to the present day.{{cite book | title=The encyclopaedia of Islam.
