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.
Now, refuting the second belief, it is said: « فَاسْتَفْتِهِمْ اَلِرَبِّكَ الْبَنَاتُ وَ لَهُمُ الْبَنُوْنَ » "So ask them, does your Lord have daughters and for them are sons?" Zamakhshari said: "This is connected to {’’ فَاسْتَفْتِهِمْ اَهُمْ اَشَدُّ خَلْقًا ‘‘} at the beginning of the Surah, even though there is a great distance between them." By declaring the angels as daughters of Allah, they were committing three injustices: first, that they were attributing offspring to Allah, whereas He is free from this, because this is a sign of weakness and need. Second, that they declared daughters for Allah, while they themselves prefer sons. Third, that they declared Allah's close angels as feminine, whereas they are free from the distinction of masculine and feminine. Allah refuted all these things and expressed severe anger, thus He said: "Ask them, does your Lord have daughters and for them are sons?" Their own condition is that upon hearing the news of a daughter, their faces become dark and they begin to think of burying her alive, and they attribute to Allah a thing that they themselves dislike.
