Tafsir al-Quran al-Karim is a 4-volume Quran commentary by Hafiz Abdus Salam bin Muhammad Bhutvi, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar and Sheikh ul-Hadith from Pakistan. Based on over 45 years of teaching and research, this tafsir follows the methodology of Tafsir bil-Ma'thur — interpreting the Quran through authentic Hadith, statements of the Companions, and the understanding of the early generations (Salaf). It is distinguished by its complete avoidance of Israeliyyat (Judeo-Christian narratives) and unverified reports. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.

(Ayah 109){وَ اتَّبِعْ مَا يُوْحٰۤى اِلَيْكَ …: } That is, follow what is revealed to you, act upon it yourself, and invite all people to it as well. Then, be patient over the immense difficulties and trials that result from this, until Allah decides between you and your enemies as to who will remain dominant in the world. And He is the best of all who decide, and He has mentioned this decision in several places in the Qur’an. Thus, He said: «{ هُوَ الَّذِيْۤ اَرْسَلَ رَسُوْلَهٗ بِالْهُدٰى وَ دِيْنِ الْحَقِّ لِيُظْهِرَهٗ عَلَى الدِّيْنِ كُلِّهٖ وَ لَوْ كَرِهَ الْمُشْرِكُوْنَ [ الصف : ۹ ] “He it is Who sent His Messenger with guidance and the religion of truth so that He may make it prevail over every religion, even though the polytheists may dislike it.” And He said: «{ وَ لَا تَهِنُوْا وَ لَا تَحْزَنُوْا وَ اَنْتُمُ الْاَعْلَوْنَ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُّؤْمِنِيْنَ [ آل عمران : ۱۳۹ ] “And do not weaken and do not grieve, and you will be superior if you are believers.” Now, if Muslims are subdued, it is obligatory for them to reflect on Allah’s condition, “if you are believers,” and become true believers, so that the decision of the Best of Judges may be in their favor.

Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan is a well-known Quran commentary by Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan.

Due to its reliability and adherence to sound Islamic scholarship, the Saudi government publishes and distributes this tafsir among the Hujjaj (pilgrims) visiting the Haramain. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.

19. 1 Hold firmly to whatever Allah ﷻ reveals, act upon whatever He commands, refrain from whatever He forbids, and do not show any negligence in anything. And endure with patience whatever hardships come in obeying and following the revelation, whatever harm comes from the opponents, and whatever difficulties have to be faced in the path of preaching and inviting—face all of them with steadfastness and perseverance.

19. 2 Because His knowledge is perfect, His power and might are vast, and His mercy is all-encompassing—so who can be a better judge than Him?

Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran (Facilitation of the Quran) is a comprehensive Quran commentary by Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. Known for his eloquent and accessible writing style, Kilani authored this tafsir with a focus on clarity — making Quranic meanings understandable to the common reader. The tafsir provides detailed historical context for verses related to battles and expeditions, and firmly refutes modernist ideologies using strong scriptural evidence. It is widely regarded as an invaluable resource for understanding the Quran and countering deviant interpretations. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.

109. Follow what has been revealed to you, and be patient until Allah gives His judgment [117], for He is the best of judges.

[117] This Surah was revealed in the last period of the Makkan life, when the hardships and persecutions of the disbelievers against the Muslims had reached their peak, and despite the desire of some courageous Companions, the Muslims had not yet been granted permission for Jihad. Therefore, at the end of this Surah, once again, you and the Muslims are being instructed to endure everything with patience for now and to follow the revelation, and at the same time, they are being given the glad tidings of the coming of better days.
