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.

(Ayah 57){وَ رَفَعْنٰهُ مَكَانًا عَلِيًّا: } In the hadith of Mi'raj, it is mentioned that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) met him on the fourth heaven. Hafiz Ibn Hajar (may Allah have mercy on him) said that there is no doubt about the {’’ مَكَانًا عَلِيًّا ‘‘} (very high status) of this position. Some people have said that he was raised alive to the heaven, but this is not proven from the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) with any strong chain, rather it is only the statement of Ka'b who narrates Isra'ili traditions.

Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan — Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf

Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan is a well-known Quran commentary by Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. This tafsir explains the meanings of the Quran in accordance with the methodology of the Salaf (early righteous generations), relying on authentic sources and straightforward language. Due to its reliability and adherence to sound Islamic scholarship, the Saudi government publishes and distributes this tafsir among the Hujjaj (pilgrims) visiting the Haramain. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.

57. 1. Hazrat Idris (علیہ السلام) is said to be the first prophet after Hazrat Adam (علیہ السلام), and the grandfather of Hazrat Nuh (علیہ السلام) or his father’s grandfather. He was the first to sew clothes. What is meant by the elevation of rank? Some commentators have understood its meaning as رُفِعَ اِلَی السَّمَآء, that like Hazrat Isa (علیہ السلام), he too was raised to the heavens, but the words of the Quran are not clear for this meaning, nor has this been stated in any Sahih hadith. However, in Israelite traditions, there is mention of his being raised to the heavens, which is not sufficient to establish this meaning. Therefore, the more correct view seems to be that it refers to the elevation of rank that was granted to him by bestowing prophethood. And Allah knows best.
