Tafsir al-Quran al-Karim — Hafiz Abdus Salam Bin Muhammad Bhutvi
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.
➋ {فَمَا ذَا بَعْدَ الْحَقِّ اِلَّا الضَّلٰلُ …:} From this, it is understood that the truth is always only one. The statement that “let everyone stick to what they are upon, all are correct,” or that among the four Sunni schools formed after the best generations of Muslims—whether Hanafi, Shafi’i, Maliki, or Hanbali—all are right, is against this verse. How can everything in all these schools be right at the same time? In their disputed issues, if there is a correct ruling, it will only be one; the others will be mistaken. Although a mujtahid, despite his mistake, will receive a reward for his sincerity and effort, we can never call his mistake the truth. For example, one group says that every intoxicant is forbidden, and another says that only wine made from grapes or dates is forbidden, and all other intoxicants are lawful—how can both be right? One says that if a man commits adultery with a woman brought for hire, the prescribed punishment applies, and another says that for adultery with a hired woman, the prescribed punishment does not apply—how can both be correct? One school says that if someone, despite knowing the prohibition of marrying his mother or sister, marries and commits adultery, there is no prescribed punishment, and another says that this act is apostasy, for which the punishment is death—how can both be correct? Then, many imams say that faith increases and decreases, and deeds are part of faith, and there is a difference between our faith and that of the Prophets, angels, and Companions as vast as the earth and sky. In contrast, some say that faith is only affirmation by the heart and declaration by the tongue, and deeds, even prayer and fasting, are not part of faith, and since we have affirmed and declared, and so have Jibreel (peace be upon him) and Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), there is no difference in faith between us and them, that anyone’s faith is less or more; all are equal. You tell yourself, with so much contradiction, how can both be right? In summary, if one of two contradictory things is true, then the other is certainly misguidance and error.

[46] That is, the belief you people hold regarding the Oneness of Lordship is the very truth and is correct and true. Now, whatever exists apart from this reality can only be false, having no connection with the facts. The requirement of the Oneness of Lordship is that worship should also be devoted to Him alone, and this is the truth and correctness. If you worship others besides Allah or call upon them, then this will be sheer misguidance.
[47] In this question, the passive form is used, which means that there is another person or group present whose very task is to lead people away from the correct way of thinking and put them on the wrong path. Therefore, the question is asked: why do you, becoming blind, follow such misguided leaders? Why do you not use your own intellect? In other words, the person or persons who mislead have been kept veiled so that no provocation arises among them and everyone gets the opportunity to reflect calmly.
