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 72) {وَ ذَلَّلْنٰهَا لَهُمْ فَمِنْهَا رَكُوْبُهُمْ … :} That is, We have made these cattle subservient to them; if We had placed wildness in their nature like other wild animals, they would never have come under their control, let alone become their masters. As a result of Our subjugation, even a small child can hold the camel’s rein, and a strong and large animal like a camel walks along with him, and if there is a line of a hundred camels with it, they too walk straight at the urging of a child. In addition to this subordination, they ride on them and easily cover long journeys. They themselves ride, load goods, and use them for carrying burdens, even to the extent that some are slaughtered and their meat is eaten.

The Benefits Derived from Livestock:

Allah Almighty has created human nature in such a way that, by using his intellect, man brings all kinds of animals under his control, and He has made the nature of quadrupeds such that they become obedient to man. Otherwise, among these quadrupeds, there are many that are much stronger than humans. A horse can kill a man with a kick. A camel can sink its teeth into a man's skull, and an elephant can crush a man under its feet and thus rid itself of him. But it is a special favor of Allah Almighty upon man that a long caravan of camels can be led wherever desired by a young child holding their reins. Then, like inanimate objects, man subjugates creatures much larger and stronger than himself and derives many kinds of benefits from them. These quadrupeds serve as mounts for man and also become his food. From their hair, he makes clothing. He also obtains milk from them, from which yogurt, butter, cream, ghee, etc., are made. Even after these quadrupeds die or are slaughtered, he uses their skins, bones, and teeth for his purposes.
