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 50) ➊ {فَانْظُرْ اِلٰۤى اٰثٰرِ رَحْمَتِ اللّٰهِ … :} In this verse, reviving the dead earth with rain is presented as evidence for resurrecting the dead on the Day of Judgment.
{ وَ هُوَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيْرٌ :} That is, He is not only the One who resurrects the dead, but He is fully capable of everything. Resurrecting the dead is just a minor manifestation of His power, the example of which you see in the revival of the earth after rain.

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

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.

1. By the آثار رحمت are meant the grains and fruits that are produced by rain and become a cause of prosperity and ease. By seeing is meant to look with a view of taking a lesson, so that a person may acknowledge Allah's power and accept that on the Day of Resurrection, He will similarly bring the dead to life.
