What’s your opinion on Zubdat At-Tafsir by Al-Ashqar?

Answer

Praise Be to Allah and Peace Be Upon His Messenger.

This book, Zubdat At-Tafsir by Al-Ashqar, is a summary of a huger book of interpretation which is called Fath Al-Qadeer by Shawkani. Zubdat At-Tafsir is considered useful for beginners; those who start reading on Qur’anic interpretation. However, it is not sufficient to read it if one wants to go farther in this science of interpretation. Therefore, one can choose other more detailed books.
