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 {اَفَبِالْبَاطِلِ يُؤْمِنُوْنَ :} That is, do they acknowledge the favors of their self-made gods, those who fulfill needs, remove difficulties, and grant, claiming that they are the ones who cured illness, gave a son, or provided sustenance, even though all of them are false and have no reality except in imagination and delusion. See Surah Yunus (66).
➌ { وَ بِنِعْمَتِ اللّٰهِ هُمْ يَكْفُرُوْنَ:} That is, Allah Almighty, who is the true deity and all favors are from Him, they are ungrateful for His blessings and deny them, and instead acknowledge the favors of idols and saints, claiming that health, sons, and sustenance are given by them, even though all this is false (a lie). The truth is that all of this is given by Allah Almighty, whom the polytheists do not thank.

The Means for the Survival of Man and His Species:
Allah has provided the means for the survival of your species, and He alone has created the means for the preservation of your own life. Yet, the polytheists hold the belief regarding their false deities that a son was born due to the favor of such-and-such, or that healing was attained by visiting such-and-such shrine, and other such superstitions.
