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 85) {وَ مَنْ يَّبْتَغِ …:} That is, after the advent of Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), whoever leaves the path of obedience and submission to him and adopts any other path, or continues to follow any previous path, no matter how much of a monotheist he may be and even if he believes in the previous prophets, if he does not believe in Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), then his religiosity will not be accepted by Allah Almighty and he will be unsuccessful and deprived in the Hereafter. It should be clear that although the religion of all the prophets was Islam, after the coming of the last Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), Islam is now only the name of following him. Even in the terminology of the Qur'an, Islam now means this, and in this sense, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: [مَنْ عَمِلَ عَمَلاً لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ أَمْرُنَا فَهُوَ رَدٌّ ] [مسلم، الأقضیۃ، باب نقض الأحکام الباطلۃ … : 1718/18، عن عائشۃ رضی اللہ عنہا ] "Whoever does any action that is not in accordance with our command, it is rejected."

The tafsir provides detailed historical context for verses related to battles and expeditions, and firmly refutes modernist ideologies using strong scriptural evidence.

85. And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam (submission), it will never be accepted from him [75], and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers.

[75] In this verse, the first point has been repeated in different words. That is, the Jews and Christians of the Prophet’s time had already testified with their own tongues that the teachings you have brought are the same as those of the previous prophets. After that, the opposition they showed was merely due to prejudice and self-interest. Therefore, none of the deeds of such people will be accepted, and in the Hereafter, there is nothing but loss for them, for which they will have to endure a painful punishment.
