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.

(Ayah73){ فَاَخَذَتْهُمُ الصَّيْحَةُ مُشْرِقِيْنَ:’’ اَشْرَقَتِ الشَّمْسُ‘‘} "The sun rose." Before this, in Ayah (66), the word {’’مُصْبِحِيْنَ ‘‘} is used, meaning at the time of morning. In Surah Qamar (38), the word {’’ بُكْرَةً ‘‘} is used, which means the first part of the day. Some scholars have said that the punishment began in the morning and continued until the sun had risen. One reconciliation could be that the entire time from the appearance of dawn until some time after sunrise is commonly referred to as morning, and another reconciliation is that {’’ أَشْرَقَ يُشْرِقُ‘‘} generally means the coming of light in darkness, which obviously begins with the morning and is completed with the rising of the sun, as it is said: «{ وَ اَشْرَقَتِ الْاَرْضُ بِنُوْرِ رَبِّهَا }» [ الزمر : ۶۹ ] "And the earth will shine with the light of its Lord." I have adopted this meaning in the translation, so that it remains consistent with {’’ مُصْبِحِيْنَ ‘‘}.
