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 89) {فَاصْفَحْ عَنْهُمْ وَ قُلْ سَلٰمٌ … :} That is, We have heard your plea, now We know and them, you pardon them and, to express disassociation and severance from them, say to them that 'Salam!' (Farewell). Thus, they will soon know what the outcome is for not believing.

The tafsir provides detailed historical context for verses related to battles and expeditions, and firmly refutes modernist ideologies using strong scriptural evidence.

So turn away from them and say, "Peace [81] be upon you." Soon they will know.

[81] This "peace" is, in fact, a farewell greeting, said when one is fed up with someone's mischief and actions, meaning: "You remain engrossed in your own state, and leave me to mine." That is, you should overlook these disbelievers and their contentious arguments. The time is very near when the whole reality will become clear before them. Indeed, much of this reality became apparent to these polytheists even in this world, and they will come to know it fully in the Hereafter.
