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 52){ اَلَّذِيْنَ اٰتَيْنٰهُمُ الْكِتٰبَ مِنْ قَبْلِهٖ …:} That is, in reality, these people are caught in stubbornness and hostility; they are not seekers of guidance, because if they were truly seekers of guidance, they would have attained guidance through our repeated admonitions, just as many people to whom We gave the Book before, they believe in this Quran, such as Abdullah bin Salam, Salman Farsi, Tamim Dari, Jarud Abdi, and Rifa’ah Qarzi, and others (may Allah be pleased with them) and those Christians who were with Najashi and began to weep upon hearing the Quran, whose mention has already passed in Surah Al-A’raf (159).

Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan is a well-known Quran commentary by Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. 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.

52-1. By this are meant the Jews who became Muslims, such as Abdullah bin Salam and others, or they are the Christians who came from Abyssinia to the service of the Prophet ﷺ and, after listening to the Noble Qur'an from his blessed tongue, became Muslims (Ibn Kathir).

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.

52. Those to whom We gave the Book (the Torah) before this, they are the ones who believe in this [70] (Quran).

[70] In the previous verses, the condition of the polytheists was described: that despite mentioning the miracles of Musa (Moses) ؑ, they neither believe in the Torah nor in the Quran, and the reason for this is merely their prejudice and following of their own desires. Now, those people are being mentioned whose habits and characteristics are completely opposite to theirs. That is, they never follow their desires; rather, at all times, they remain obedient to Allah. When the Torah was revealed, they believed in it, and when the Quran was revealed, they believed in it as well.
