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.

(Ayah61) {قَالُوْا سَنُرَاوِدُ عَنْهُ …:} means We will persuade his father in every way. "Seen" is used not only to indicate the future tense but also for emphasis, that is why it has been translated as "surely." In {’’ وَ اِنَّا لَفٰعِلُوْنَ ‘‘}, the promise to do this work has been made with three types of emphasis: {’’اِنَّ‘‘}, the emphatic "lam," and the nominal sentence.
