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 اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَهُوَ الْغَنِيُّ الْحَمِيْدُ :} It is a common observation that man is in need of the things he owns, because he needs them; therefore, along with mentioning that He is the Owner of everything in the heavens and the earth, it is clarified that He is not in need of the heavens, the earth, or anything in them, rather He is the Most Independent and Free of Need, even from the praise of those who praise. The necessary implication of this attribute is that He is Hamid, that is, the One worthy of all praise; every praise and commendation, no matter for whom it is, in reality belongs to Him alone, because whatever praiseworthy quality is found in creation is granted by Him. When all are in need of Him, then why should the creation be worshipped, which itself is in need of Him for its very existence?
➌ By bringing the pronoun of separation {’’ هُوَ ‘‘} between the noun {’’ اللّٰهَ ‘‘} of {’’ اِنَّ ‘‘ } and its predicate { ’’ الْغَنِيُّ الْحَمِيْدُ ‘‘ }, and by bringing the definite article "al" on the predicate {’’ الْغَنِيُّ الْحَمِيْدُ ‘‘} of {’’ اِنَّ ‘‘}, exclusivity is established in two ways in the statement, from which the translation will be: Indeed, Allah alone is certainly the Most Independent, the One worthy of all praise.

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.
[93] Since Allah Almighty alone is the Creator and Owner of everything, therefore, everything is dependent on Allah Almighty for its existence and its continuation, while He Himself is not dependent on anyone. Even before the existence of the entire universe, His Being was established and everlasting, and after the existence (of creation), He remains independent of it. Therefore, whether anyone praises and glorifies Him or not, it does not make any difference to Him (however, the one who praises and glorifies does indeed benefit himself), because He is, in His very essence, Praiseworthy Himself.
