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.

By both the subject {’’ رَبَّكَ ‘‘} and the predicate {’’ الْعَزِيْزُ الرَّحِيْمُ ‘‘} of {وَ اِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ الْعَزِيْزُ الرَّحِيْمُ : ’’ اِنَّ ‘‘} being definite, the meaning of restriction is being conveyed, and by bringing the pronoun {’’ لَهُوَ ‘‘} in between, further emphasis is added to the restriction. That is, it is your Lord alone who is dominant over all; there is none dominant besides Him. He is the One with mighty power, able to do whatever He wills; He can seize them for their disobedience in the blink of an eye. Yet, He is also Merciful; upon repentance, He forgives a lifetime of disobedience. That is why they are being given opportunity after opportunity to come to their senses, and He is not seizing them for their rebellion.

Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan — Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf

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.

9-1. That is, He has dominance over everything and is fully capable of taking retribution, but since He is also Merciful, He does not seize immediately; rather, He grants complete respite and then holds accountable.

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.

9. Indeed, your Lord is the All-Mighty [7], the Most Merciful.

[7] That is, Allah has the power to immediately wipe such stubborn and hostile people off the face of the earth. But since He is also Merciful, He does not destroy them at once; rather, He keeps granting them respite to understand, reflect, and reform.
