A detailed, in depth interpretation of the Holy Quran where Allamah Sayyid Muhammad Husayn Tabatabai, one of the great shia scholars of last century, explains the Quran with the help of the Quran itself. The original text of Al-Mizan, meaning “the balance”, is written in Arabic, consisting of twenty volumes. Some of these Arabic volumes have been translated into English.

“I wrote Al-Mizan to provide commentary of the Qur'an for a better understanding and more effective instruction of the sublime meanings of the purest of all Islamic texts and the highest of all Divine gifts.” - Muhammad Husayn Tabatabai
