Two seasoned academics: Professor Mohammed Mode Shuni and Dr. Abdullahi Salame of Shehu Usumanu Dan Fodiyo University, Sokoto, have typeset, proofread and made up to date Qur’an Tafsir by Sheikh Abdullahi Bin Fodiyo, titled: Kifaya Du’afa’is Sudan.
Kifaya was written in response to request by Sheikh Abdullahi Bin Fodiyo’s students for a more simple and easier to understand Tafsir of the Qur’an. The students had complained that Diya’ul Ta’awil was difficult for them. He completed this present Tafsir, Kifaya, in the Muslim Hijra year 1233, equivalent to Gregorian calendar 1872 or 252 (Two hundred and fifty two years) ago.
The major characteristics of the Qur'an Tafsir which makes it
different from other Tafsirs are:
I. All chapters and ayats are at the beginning of each page.
II. All Ayats have their Tafsir on the same page except where there is
a lengthy explanation.
III. All Ayats which speak of one (same) issue/subject are grouped
together, then followed by their Tafsir.
IV. Above is followed by more explanations by Professor
Mohammed Mode Shuni and Dr. Abdullahi Salame on the most
difficult words or historical figures, events, locations of towns that
might be extinct, etc.
V. All books mentioned in the Qur'an Tafsir by the author (Sheikh
Abdullahi Bn Fodio) have a comprehensive reference. This is to
enable interested students to make reference or read more from the original source.
VI. The Qur'an Tafsir is valuable to Teachers, Schorlars, students of
knowledge, learners, libraries, etc. It could be bought and distributed as Sadaqah
VII. The Tafsir is in two (2) volumes, volume I and volume II. The
price is N35,000.00 (Thirty Five Thousand naira only).
Your patronage is welcomed.
Wassalam.
