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 4) ➊ {وَ فِيْ خَلْقِكُمْ وَ مَا يَبُثُّ مِنْ دَآبَّةٍ:} That is, those who reflect on the creation of human beings and the countless living creatures spread across the land and sea, will find innumerable such signs that, upon seeing them, no doubt will remain that indeed all of this has been created by one and the same Creator and Master, and He alone is running it, and nothing has been created without purpose; rather, surely one day everyone will receive the recompense for their deeds.

{اٰيٰتٌ لِّقَوْمٍ يُّوْقِنُوْنَ:} That is, those who have decided to wander in the labyrinths of doubt or have resolved to deny are a different matter, but for those who are willing to believe once the truth is established, there are many signs of Allah’s existence, His oneness, and the Resurrection in the creation of human beings and the countless living creatures spread across the earth.

And in your own creation [3], and in the creatures He has scattered (throughout the earth) [4], there are signs for people who are certain.

[3]
The Second Sign of Tawheed: The Creation of Man, Internal and External Structure:

That is, if a person reflects upon the internal structure of his own body, he can gain much. The external structure of his limbs and their being full of multifaceted benefits, the functioning of countless automatic machines within him, the body's own resistance in case of pain—all these. Then, the various faculties and emotions that have been placed within man, even reflecting on any one of them leaves a person with no choice but to acknowledge the powers of Allah Almighty.

[4]
The Third Sign: Procreation and Resurrection After Death:

That is, the natural aspect of your creation and that of animals is the same. Both obtain their food from the produce that comes from the earth. And these foods are completely lifeless, in which there is not even a trace of life. From these very foods, the physical needs of living beings are fulfilled, the body grows, blood is formed. Then, from blood, semen is produced, and then the process of procreation continues. In this way, Allah Almighty is constantly creating living things from dead and lifeless foods by passing them through several stages.

The Fourth Sign: Populating the Earth with Humans and Animals:

Then, by making paths in the land and seas, He spread these living beings over the entire surface of the earth. In this way, a large part of the earth was also populated, and the sustenance of the creatures was also suitably arranged. Reflecting on these matters can also lead to the recognition of Allah, but only for the one who believes in the Being of Allah and His powers, and who becomes certain that in these matters, no other entity besides Allah has any involvement.
