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.
➋ {وَ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا بِاٰيٰتِ اللّٰهِ … :} Here, there is a question as to which sentence the conjunction "waaw" is connected with. Zamakhshari answered that its conjunction is with {’’ وَ يُنَجِّي اللّٰهُ الَّذِيْنَ اتَّقَوْا ‘‘}, and the intervening sentences are parenthetical. But such a distant conjunction is questionable. Baqa'i said, its conjunction is with an implied sentence that is evident from the context: {’’أَيْ فَالَّذِيْنَ آمَنُوْا وَ تَقَبَّلُوْا آيَاتِهِ أُوْلٰئِكَ هُمُ الْفَائِزُوْنَ وَالَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا بِآيَاتِ اللّٰهِ هُمُ الْخَاسِرُوْنَ‘‘} "So those who believed and accepted His verses, they are the successful ones, and those who denied the signs of Allah, they are the losers." {’’ هُمْ ‘‘} Due to the pronoun of separation and {’’الْخٰسِرُوْنَ ‘‘} due to the definite article on the predicate, emphasis and exclusivity are created in the statement, meaning the only losers are those who denied the signs of Allah. As if, apart from this, if there is any loss, in reality, it is not a loss, because it is a temporary loss. Similarly, true success is only the success of the Hereafter, because that is the only lasting and enduring success. It is said: « فَمَنْ زُحْزِحَ عَنِ النَّارِ وَ اُدْخِلَ الْجَنَّةَ فَقَدْ فَازَ » [ آل عمران : ۱۸۵ ] "Then whoever is kept away from the Fire and admitted to Paradise, he indeed is successful." By "the signs of Allah" is meant the proofs of His existence and oneness, which have been mentioned in the previous verses, especially in the three sentences before this.
