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 152) {وَ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا بِاللّٰهِ وَ رُسُلِهٖ ……:} Refers to the Ummah of Muhammad (peace be upon him), which believes in all the prophets; therefore, glad tidings are for them. (Qurtubi)

Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan is a well-known Quran commentary by Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. This tafsir explains the meanings of the Quran in accordance with the methodology of the Salaf (early righteous generations), relying on authentic sources and straightforward language. 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.

152. 1. This describes the characteristic of the believers that they have faith in all the Prophets (علیہم السلام). Just as Muslims do, they do not deny any Prophet. This verse also negates a certain religion which does not consider it necessary to have faith in the Prophethood of Muhammad ﷺ, and considers those non-Muslims as saved who, according to their own concepts, have faith in Allah. But this verse of the Quran has made it clear that along with faith in Allah, it is also necessary to have faith in the Prophethood of Muhammad ﷺ. If this final Prophethood is denied, then with this denial, faith in Allah is invalid and unacceptable (see also the footnote of Surah Baqarah (Ayah number 12)).

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.

152. But those who believe in Allah and all His messengers and do not make any distinction among them [201], to them Allah will grant their rewards. And Allah is Most Forgiving, Most Merciful.

[201]
The Superiority of Some Messengers Over Others:

This is because the very condition of true faith is to believe in Allah and all His messengers and prophets, and not to make any distinction among them. And making a distinction can have two meanings: one is to believe in some and not in others; and the second is to consider all equal in the rank of prophethood. In this regard, the Prophet ﷺ said, "No one should say that I am superior to Yunus bin Matta." [بخاری، کتاب التفسیر، سورۃ انعام۔ باب و یونس و لوطاً و کلاً فضلنا]
As for other virtues besides prophethood, such virtues of one prophet over another are explicitly mentioned in the Book and Sunnah, and in this regard, you ﷺ are the most superior of the prophets. And only the faith of those who bring such true faith will be accepted by Allah, and they will be given the full reward for their deeds.
