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.

(Ayah 23){ اُولٰٓىِٕكَ الَّذِيْنَ لَعَنَهُمُ اللّٰهُ …:} That is, these people who were about to come into power would become blind and deaf, spreading oppression and corruption and severing ties of kinship, or they were about to turn away from obedience and jihad, thus spreading corruption in the land and severely cutting off family relations. Allah Almighty cursed them and made them so deaf, blind, and hard-hearted that they could not understand the blessings of jihad—that through it, the troubles and hardships of the Muslims are removed, they gain honor and dignity, sedition, corruption, polytheism, and disbelief are eradicated, and the earth becomes a cradle of peace. Elsewhere, Allah Almighty has said: «ذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّهُمْ اٰمَنُوْا ثُمَّ كَفَرُوْا فَطُبِعَ عَلٰى قُلُوْبِهِمْ فَهُمْ لَا يَفْقَهُوْنَ » [ المنافقون : ۳ ] "This is because they believed, then disbelieved, so their hearts were sealed, and thus they do not understand."

Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan — Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf

The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.

23. 1. That is, Allah has made the ears of such people deaf (from hearing the truth) and their eyes blind (from seeing the truth). This is the consequence of their aforementioned deeds.

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.

The Blessings of Jihad:

That is, they do not understand that jihad is entirely good and blessed for them. As long as jihad is not undertaken, disbelief will never allow Islam to live and flourish; rather, its effort is to uproot Islam and the Muslims completely. Only through jihad will the period of Muslims’ troubles and hardships come to an end. Mischief and corruption will be eradicated. Allah’s religion will be elevated. Tawheed will spread, shirk will be eliminated, and this land will become a cradle of peace and tranquility.
