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 { عَلٰى بَصِيْرَةٍ اَنَا وَ مَنِ اتَّبَعَنِيْ … : ’’ بَصَارَةٌ ‘‘} means seeing with the eyes and {’’ بَصِيْرَةٍ ‘‘} means understanding well with the heart, that is, I and my followers are firmly established on the path of Allah with full thought and understanding. {’’ وَ سُبْحٰنَ اللّٰهِ ‘‘} because Allah is free from every defect and error. Worship of Him alone is the truth, and following His revelation alone is the truth, and whoever leaves this path is a polytheist because of worship and obedience to such beings who are not free from defect and error. Therefore, I can never be among such polytheists.

The Prophet’s Call Upon Insight:
That is, the path upon which I am steadfast and to which I invite others, I tread with understanding and upon insight, and my followers are the same. I can prove with arguments and experience that the false deities besides Allah can neither harm nor benefit anyone. Furthermore, my conscience is fully satisfied with the fact that the Being who is our Creator, Owner, and Sustainer alone truly deserves our worship. If anyone else is associated with His worship, it is the height of injustice. Therefore, neither am I prepared to do the deeds of the polytheists, nor are my followers.
