For Harrak: "Some suras do not need tafsir...that I also agree" You are kidding me...Just name one sura

And while you are thinking about the answer here I have five questions for you:

1. Could you provide us with a sura that does not need exegesis and that we all can undestand without commentaries? One sura would be enough. I expect you to provide us with the suar in the primary source and that is Arabic.

2. Could you tell us what is the difference between tafsir and ta'weel?

3. How good is your Arabic?

4. How much do you know about the Muslim Masora?

5. Could you tell more about the exegesis of the much celebrated, by the Muslim masorites, of the Quranic aya: "Ina hadhan lasahiran."?

I will be waiting for your answers with great anticipation.
