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.

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 84){وَ قَالَ مُوْسٰى يٰقَوْمِ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ اٰمَنْتُمْ بِاللّٰهِ …:} Despite the miracles of Musa (Moses) (peace be upon him) and his being proven a true prophet, there was no decrease in the oppression of Pharaoh; rather, it increased even more. The Children of Israel complained to Musa (peace be upon him) that even before your coming and after your coming, we have only been harmed. So Musa (peace be upon him) advised them to be patient and to have trust in Allah. See Surah Al-A'raf (128, 129). In the verse under commentary, trust in Allah is declared as a necessary result of faith and Islam, just as in other verses, faith and trust or worship and trust are mentioned together. See Surah Hud (123), Al-Mulk (29), and Al-Fatiha (4).

84. 1. The humiliation and disgrace that the Children of Israel suffered at the hands of Pharaoh did not decrease even after the coming of Musa (peace be upon him), so they were extremely distressed. In fact, they even said to Musa (peace be upon him), "O Musa, just as before your coming we were afflicted with hardships from Pharaoh and his people, our condition remains the same after your coming." Upon this, Musa (peace be upon him) told them that he hoped his Lord would soon destroy their enemy. But for this, it is necessary that you seek help only from Allah and do not let go of patience (see Surah Al-A'raf, verses 128, 129) (قَالَ مُوْسٰي لِقَوْمِهِ اسْتَعِيْنُوْا باللّٰهِ وَاصْبِرُوْا ۚ اِنَّ الْاَرْضَ لِلّٰهِ ڐ يُوْرِثُهَا مَنْ يَّشَاۗءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهٖ ۭوَالْعَاقِبَةُ لِلْمُتَّقِيْنَ 128؁ قَالُوْٓا اُوْذِيْنَا مِنْ قَبْلِ اَنْ تَاْتِيَنَا وَمِنْۢ بَعْدِ مَا جِئْتَنَا ۭ قَالَ عَسٰي رَبُّكُمْ اَنْ يُّهْلِكَ عَدُوَّكُمْ وَيَسْتَخْلِفَكُمْ فِي الْاَرْضِ فَيَنْظُرَ كَيْفَ تَعْمَلُوْنَ 129؀). Here too, Musa (peace be upon him) advised them that if you are truly obedient to Allah, then put your trust in Him alone.
