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 49) {وَ اِنْ كَانُوْا مِنْ قَبْلِ اَنْ يُّنَزَّلَ عَلَيْهِمْ … :} is a circumstantial waw, and {’’ وَ اِنْ كَانُوْا ‘‘} is originally {’’إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوْا‘‘}. Due to the lam that comes on {’’ لَمُبْلِسِيْنَ ‘‘}, {’’إِنَّ‘‘} was changed to {’’ اِنْ ‘‘} and {’’هُمْ‘‘} was omitted. The repetition of {’’ مِنْ قَبْلِهٖ ‘‘} after {’’ مِنْ قَبْلِ اَنْ يُّنَزَّلَ ‘‘} is for emphasis, meaning that before the rain descended, right up until just before it, they were completely hopeless. This describes how prolonged hopelessness is suddenly and swiftly transformed into immediate joy, that they were utterly hopeless, and as soon as the rain descended, they began to rejoice. From this, Allah’s power is evident, that in a moment the state of the world can change; a little while ago, everyone’s faces were downcast, and now after the rain, happiness is being celebrated everywhere.
