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 5) {تَنْزِيْلَ الْعَزِيْزِ الرَّحِيْمِ :} That is, this is not the word of a powerless and helpless person whose denial would not matter, rather it is revealed by Allah Almighty who is dominant over all. No one can bring forth words like His, no power can prevent His word from being enforced, and no one can escape His grasp by denying it. At the same time, He is extremely merciful that He sent a Messenger for your guidance, revealed the Book, then granted you respite and did not seize you immediately upon denial.

5. It is a revelation sent down by the Almighty, the Most Merciful [4].

[4] That is, the One Who has revealed this Wise Quran is not some weak kind of advisor who has sent down a few commands and pieces of advice, such that if you accept them, it is good, and if you ignore them, no harm will come to you. Rather, the One Who has revealed it is the Sovereign of the universe, Who is dominant over all, and has the power to enforce His decisions. And He is Merciful in the sense that He has shown great kindness to you by sending this Quran and this Prophet for your guidance, so that you may be saved from misguidance and attain success in this world and the Hereafter.
