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 The second meaning is that the "ba" should be related to a word that fits the context, such as {’’ شَاهِدٌ ‘‘} and so on, {’’أَيْ ذٰلِكَ شَاهِدٌ بِأَنَّ اللّٰهَ هُوَ الْحَقُّ‘‘} meaning that all that has passed, i.e., the creation of man from dust, then from a drop of fluid (to the end), and the reviving of dead earth by water, is a witness and proof that Allah Almighty alone is the Truth and He alone will resurrect the dead... The later commentators prefer this meaning.

Three Meanings of Allah Being "The Truth":
This phrase can have three meanings, and all three are correct. First, that here "Haqq" means "true." That is, from both of these examples it becomes clear that Allah Ta'ala is declaring resurrection after death to be final and certain, so His statement is absolutely true. Second, that the very being of Allah Ta'ala is a solid reality. His existence is not an imaginary one that has been accepted due to intellectual difficulties, as is the view of philosophers who, after connecting the chains of cause and effect and becoming helpless, are compelled to accept a being as "Necessary Existence" or "First Cause." In contrast, Allah Ta'ala is a living, eternal being who acts according to His will in everything and has control over everything. And third, that whatever is manifesting in this universe is based on solid realities. Allah Ta'ala did not create this entire universe and the events occurring within it merely for amusement. And there are countless other verses of the Quran that bear witness to all three of these meanings.
