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 252) That is, these incidents of previous nations which We are narrating to you are a clear proof of your being a true Prophet, because you have neither read them in any book nor heard them from anyone, yet you are describing them so accurately that even the Children of Israel confirm them. This is the affirmation of your Prophethood with extremely emphatic words, with {”اِنَّ“} and “Lam of emphasis,” in response to the disbelievers’ denial of your Prophethood. The disbelievers denied your Prophethood, as He said: «وَ يَقُوْلُ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا لَسْتَ مُرْسَلًا» [ الرعد : ۴۳ ] “And those who disbelieve say, ‘You are not a Messenger.’” Allah Almighty, refuting their denial, said: «وَ اِنَّكَ لَمِنَ الْمُرْسَلِيْنَ» “Indeed, you are surely among the Messengers.”

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.

252. 1 These past events which are being made known to the world through the book revealed to you, O Muhammad ﷺ, are certainly a proof of your messengership and truthfulness, because you ﷺ have neither read them in any book nor heard them from anyone. This makes it clear that these are the unseen news which Allah Almighty is revealing to you through revelation. In the Noble Quran, at numerous places, the events of previous nations have been mentioned and your ﷺ truthfulness has been presented as evidence.

Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran — Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani

Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran (Facilitation of the Quran) is a comprehensive Quran commentary by Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. Known for his eloquent and accessible writing style, Kilani authored this tafsir with a focus on clarity — making Quranic meanings understandable to the common reader. The tafsir provides detailed historical context for verses related to battles and expeditions, and firmly refutes modernist ideologies using strong scriptural evidence. It is widely regarded as an invaluable resource for understanding the Quran and countering deviant interpretations. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.

252. These are the verses [355] of Allah which We recite to you in truth, and surely you are among those who have been sent as Messengers.

[355]
Being Informed of Past Events is a Proof of Your ﷺ Prophethood:

Here, the signs of Allah refer to those miraculous events that occurred to the Children of Israel. For example, the thousands of people who, out of fear of plague, left their homes and whom Allah brought back to life after death; or like Dawud killing the tyrant king Jalut single-handedly, and Allah granting dominance to a small group, and bestowing kingship and prophethood upon an unknown shepherd like Dawud, etc. These events We have conveyed to you precisely through revelation, and your informing people of the exact circumstances of past generations is certainly a great proof of your messengership. Because, apart from divine revelation, you have no means by which you could know such accurate details of the past and inform others about them.
