Abstract
This manuscript titled Al-Tafsīrul-Qur’ānil Karīm-, shortened as Tafsīr, roughly provides an exegesis of the Glorious Qur’ān. This 4-page document appears to be a handout which is given to students at a tertiary institution. The top quarter of each page has a straight line which separates the Qur’ānic verses written in Arabic from the other part of the page which has the Yoruba Anjemi translational meaning and commentaries. The information we gathered from the owners of the manuscript was that the Markaz produced these as instructional materials for their students, and was targeting high school students in particular. Written in Yoruba Anjemi, using the standard Mashriqi style of writing, there is Roman numeral page numbering at the top center of each page. The chapters from the Qu’ran which were translated for this work include the last verses of Sūratu Muhammad (47: 35-38); and Sūratu-Al-Fat-ḥi (Q. 48: 1-15).
