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 27){ وَ لَقَدْ ضَرَبْنَا لِلنَّاسِ فِيْ هٰذَا الْقُرْاٰنِ …:} Speaking with examples makes the matter easier to understand and well ingrained, especially such examples that are related to a person's own life and the things around him, with which he deals daily. That is why Allah Almighty has mentioned all kinds of examples in the Noble Qur'an, as He has explained His Oneness to people by giving them their own examples. See Surah Ar-Rum (28) and An-Nahl (75, 76).

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.

27. 1. That is, every kind of example has been presented to make people understand, so that the matters settle in their minds and they may take admonition.

Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran (Facilitation of the Quran) is a comprehensive Quran commentary by Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. Known for his eloquent and accessible writing style, Kilani authored this tafsir with a focus on clarity — making Quranic meanings understandable to the common reader. The tafsir provides detailed historical context for verses related to battles and expeditions, and firmly refutes modernist ideologies using strong scriptural evidence. It is widely regarded as an invaluable resource for understanding the Quran and countering deviant interpretations. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.

27. Indeed, We have set forth for mankind every kind of example [42] in this Qur’an, so that they may take heed.

[42] This may also mean that We have presented every kind of example with arguments in refutation of shirk, so that people may have no difficulty in understanding the real truth. And it may also refer to all the necessary matters of religion, including commands and prohibitions. Such fundamental matters are all present in the Quran, and their meaning and explanation become completely clear through the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. That is, every person can obtain all the guidance related to religion from the Book and the Sunnah. And for the protection of his religion, the Noble Quran and Hadith are sufficient for him.
