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.

The meaning of (Ayah 34){قُلْ هَلْ مِنْ شُرَكَآىِٕكُمْ مَّنْ يَّبْدَؤُا الْخَلْقَ … : ’’ تُؤْفَكُوْنَ ‘‘ ’’اِفْكٌ‘‘} is to turn someone away from something, to remove. That is why lies and slander are also called {’’اِفْكٌ‘‘}, because in them too, the listener is turned away from the real matter. That is, you should ask them: Is there any partner of yours who initiates creation, then brings it back again? Just as Allah created man from clay, then from a drop, then a clot, in short, passing through all the stages, He created him, and in the same way, He initiated the creation of all creatures, and He alone will bring them back again. They will remain silent in response; if there is such a partner, then name him. Now, they cannot name such a partner, because they themselves have admitted that the Creator is Allah alone, nor are they ready to say that none of our partners is like that, because that would expose the reality of their partners and reveal their helplessness, so they will not answer at all. So if they do not answer, then you yourself say that it is only Allah who creates first and will resurrect again. Then, despite this, how can you tolerate that you are turned away from the straight path, that is, monotheism, towards clear misguidance, that is, polytheism, which is pure ifk (falsehood).

Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan — Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf

Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan is a well-known Quran commentary by Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. This tafsir explains the meanings of the Quran in accordance with the methodology of the Salaf (early righteous generations), relying on authentic sources and straightforward language. 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.

34. 1. To clarify the hollowness of the polytheists’ shirk, they are being asked: Tell us, those whom you consider partners of Allah, did they create this universe for the first time? Or are they capable of creating it again? No, certainly not. It is Allah alone who created it the first time, and on the Day of Resurrection, He alone will resurrect everyone. So then, leaving the path of guidance, where are you wandering?

Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran — Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani

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.

34. Say: "Is there any among your partners who originates creation and then repeats it?" Say: "Allah originates creation [49] and then repeats it. So how are you deluded away from the truth?"

[49] The polytheists of Makkah did acknowledge that it is Allah alone who created them and the entire universe, and that their partners had no share in this act. However, they did not believe in resurrection or the life of the Hereafter. In this verse, two points have been conveyed to these polytheists. First, that the Being who can create for the first time can also create a second time, and in fact, recreating is even easier for Him. Second, that when their deities had no share in the first creation, they cannot have any share in the second creation either. Now, the answer regarding the first creation has been stated in the language of the Quraysh of Makkah, because they accepted this fact, and since they did not believe in the second creation or resurrection, its answer has been given through the tongue of the Noble Prophet ﷺ.
