f-s-r

Description

The Arabic root فسر (f-s-r) carries the core meaning of clarification, explanation, and making something clear or manifest. In the Quranic context, it appears in the verbal form relating to the interpretation and explanation of revelation, particularly in Surah Al-Furqan (25:33) where Allah promises to bring the Prophet the truth and the best explanation (ahsana tafsīran) for every question or objection raised. This root is foundational to the Islamic science of Quranic exegesis known as tafsīr, emphasizing the importance of proper understanding and interpretation of divine scripture.
