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 { اَفَغَيْرَ دِيْنِ اللّٰهِ يَبْغُوْنَ :} That is, when everything in the heavens and the earth—angels, jinn, humans, etc.—are bowing before Allah’s law of nature and are subject to His command, willingly or unwillingly, then why do these people choose another path, leaving His law of Shariah {”دِيْنِ اللّٰهِ“}? They should, if they desire salvation in the Hereafter, adopt the religion of Allah which the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) has been sent with at this time. Also see Surah Aal-e-Imran (85).

What is the Religion of Allah?
What is the religion of Allah? The religion of Allah is simply to submit oneself before Him. Everything in the universe—earth and sky, sun and moon, stars and planets, angels and winds, in short, whatever exists—whether this obedience is by compulsion or by choice, is obedient to Allah and cannot deviate in the slightest from His command. Human beings and jinn have been given, to some extent, the choice to obey or disobey. Allah’s only demand from them is that, in those matters where they have been given some choice, they too should obey Allah and thus harmonize with all the things in the universe. This is the very religion that was revealed to all the prophets, and this is what they continued to preach and propagate.
