Summary/Abstract: Tabari started his education life at young ages. He took courses in many fields from different masters through his scholarly travels. In this context, he wrote some books regarding to several disciplines like tafseer, history, fiqh and hadith. He was valued as a trustworthy and authenticated scholar. Concerning the understanding of the Qur’an Tafseer al-Tabarī, it has been accepted a significant source by means of its contents consisting of the transmissions, preferences, evidences and commentaries. Also, many studies have been taken place on this work. In general, since the transmissions included by Tafseer al-Tabarī, it is famous as a ‘tafseer bil riwaya’ meaning report-based commentary of the Qur’an. On the other hand, it has the characteristic of tafseer bil diraya too, meaning reasoning-based commentary of the Qur’an, because the author of the book makes a selection among the views and puts some rational and linguistic explanations within the tafseer.
