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 { وَ اَوْصٰنِيْ بِالصَّلٰوةِ وَ الزَّكٰوةِ :} For the special emphasis on prayer and zakah, see Surah At-Tawbah (5, 11). From this verse, it is understood that prayer, zakah, and other rulings of the Shariah are not excused for anyone until death. Even our Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was commanded to worship until he passed away, as it is said: «{ وَ اعْبُدْ رَبَّكَ حَتّٰى يَاْتِيَكَ الْيَقِيْنُ }» [ الحجر : ۹۹ ] "And worship your Lord until certainty (death) comes to you." When Musa (peace be upon him) was granted prophethood, after the emphasis on monotheism, he was commanded to pray. See Surah Ta-Ha (14). Ibrahim (peace be upon him) prayed to Allah Almighty for himself and his offspring to remain steadfast in prayer. See Surah Ibrahim (40). When even the resolute messengers were not excused from prayer under any circumstance, how could some Sufis be excused? And when only the prayer of the heart was not sufficient for the prophets, how could it be sufficient for them? In reality, these people are the true depiction of verse (59) of this Surah Maryam.
➌ Since it was already in Allah Almighty’s knowledge that some people would make Isa (peace be upon him) into a deity, he was commanded to pray and give zakah throughout his life, so that everyone would know that one who himself prays before God can never be a deity. (Biqā‘ī)
