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 24) { قَالَ رَبُّ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الْاَرْضِ …:} Musa (peace be upon him) replied, The Lord of the worlds is He who is the Lord of the heavens and the earth and everything between them. If you have the ability to believe in anything, then you have no choice but to believe in this. You are claiming to be the supreme lord merely because of your rule over a very small piece of land, Egypt, even though you neither created Egypt nor provide sustenance to its people. So He is the One who created the earth and the heavens and everything that is between them, and He is also nurturing them. Reflect, what do you truly believe in: your own lordship, or His lordship, who is the Creator, Owner, and Sustainer of the heavens, the earth, and everything between them?

Moses said: "The Lord of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them, if you would be convinced [17]."

[17] Moses (peace be upon him) replied that the Lord of all the worlds is the Creator and Master of this entire universe. If you are convinced that there is an entity who brought this universe into existence, then understand that I have come to you as a messenger from that very Being and I am conveying His message to you.
