Tafseer-e-Siddiqui

The Tafseer-e-Siddiqui is a six-volume Sunni Islam Tafsir of the Qur'an by Muhammad Abdul Qadeer Siddiqi Qadri Hasrat, who was a renowned Islamic theologian, Qur'anic exegete, poet, and a celebrated sufi of Southern India. Born in the city of Hyderabad, Siddiqui was the first dean of the faculty of Theology of the newly established Osmania University, built by the Nizam VII Osman Ali Khan of the State of Hyderabad. Due to his esteemed knowledge of Islamic Sciences, Siddiqui was always referred to by his peers and followers as Bahr Ul Uloom (ocean of knowledge).
Tafsir (, tafsÄ«r, "interpretation") is the Arabic word for exegesis or commentary, usually of the Qur'an. It does not include esoteric or mystical interpretations, which are covered by the related word '. An author of tafsir is a mufassir (, mufassir, plural: , mufassirÅ«n).
Muhammad Abdul Qadeer Siddiqi Qadri started writing the Tafsir after he retired, which was published in the magazine Al-Qadeer named after him, it was printed under the title Dars-ul-Qur'an. When completed, it was printed under the title "Tafseer-e-Siddiqui".

In this he addressed the womenfolk during the explanation of different verses and hence the word "Latifi" appears in the title.
