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 25) { قَالَ لِمَنْ حَوْلَهٗۤ اَلَا تَسْتَمِعُوْنَ:} It is obvious that no matter how much Pharaoh claimed to be the Lord Most High, he was not the creator or sustainer of even a particle of the heavens and the earth, and he knew his own reality very well. When he could not answer the words of Musa (peace be upon him), he began to confuse the matter, incite his courtiers, and belittle Musa (peace be upon him) and his argument by saying, "Do you not listen attentively? What strange things this person is saying! Have you ever heard such a thing before?"

Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan — Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf

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.

25-1. That is, are you not amazed at his statement that there is any deity besides Me?

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.

Pharaoh said to those around him: "Do you hear (what he says) [18]?"

[18] Pharaoh now turned to his courtiers, nobles, and ministers and said: Are you hearing what this man is saying? He is saying that all the Children of Israel should be released from slavery and handed over to me, so that they may stand up against us. And at the same time, he keeps saying, "I am the messenger of the Lord of all the worlds." From Pharaoh's response, it is clear that despite his claim to divinity and his pharaonic arrogance, he had begun to feel some threat from Moses (peace be upon him) and wanted to incite his courtiers against him.
