Tafsīr al-Jalālayn (Arabic: تفسير الجلالين, lit. 'Tafsir of the two Jalals') is a classical Sunni interpretation (tafsir) of the Quran, composed first by Jalal ad-Din al-Maḥalli in 1459 and then completed after his death by Jalal ad-Din as-Suyuti in 1505, thus its name, which means "Tafsir of the two Jalals". It is recognised as one of the most popular exegeses of the Quran today, due to its simple style and its conciseness—it is only one volume in length.
Tafsir al-Jalalayn has been translated into many languages, including English (two translations), French, Bengali, Urdu, Persian, Malay/Indonesian, Turkish, and Japanese.
