Which Tafseer is known as the complete scientific commentary of the Quran?

Explanation

Tafseer Al-Jawahir is a unique work by the Egyptian scholar Allama Tantawi Jawhari (1862–1940) who extensively interpreted Quranic verses in light of modern science, astronomy, geology, biology, and natural phenomena. Unlike other tafseers that touch upon science incidentally, Al-Jawahir is dedicated entirely to demonstrating the harmony between the Quran and scientific discoveries, making it the first and most comprehensive scientific tafseer in Islamic tradition.

Good to know

Allama Tantawi Jawhari wrote Tafseer Al-Jawahir fi Tafsir al-Quran al-Karim in 26 volumes, published in the early 20th century. He was influenced by the growing scientific movement in Egypt and sought to show that the Quran contains references to scientific truths long before they were discovered by modern science. His work covers topics such as the solar system, embryology, oceanography, and the animal kingdom, all linked to specific Quranic verses.
