Translating the meanings of the Qur'an
The introduction says the Complex has the charge of conveying the meanings of the Qur'an to those who do not speak Arabic, and that every translation proposed for printing there passes through stages of review by specialist committees to remedy its shortcomings, yet still falls short of what it hopes for; after study it decided to issue a plain Arabic commentary as the basis of its translations into the languages of Muslim and other peoples — al-Tafsir al-Muyassar. 4 5
How it worked on al-Tafsir al-Muyassar
Al-Tafsir al-Muyassar was written by a group of tafsir professors and reviewed by a committee at the Complex and two at the ministry in Riyadh; when comments arrived after its first edition, the Complex halted reprinting until a committee it formed had studied them, then issued a revised second edition in 1430 AH. 6 7 8
