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.

At the end of the surah, this conclusion is very appropriate in the context of the refutation of the Christians, that is, He alone is the Sovereign of all things in the heavens and the earth (including humans), and it is His exclusive right that He be worshipped. Whether it is ‘Isa (Jesus) عليه السلام, his mother, or the Holy Spirit, all are His servants, who in no way can be considered partners with Him in divinity.

Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan is a well-known Quran commentary by Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan.

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.

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.

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.

120. To Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and whatever is in them. [171] And He has power over all things.

[171] In this verse, there is proof for the rejection of the divinity of Sayyiduna ‘Isa ؑ and Sayyidah Maryam, because that which is owned by someone can be a possession or a slave, but cannot be a partner. Nor can it be considered a partner in the divinity of Allah Almighty.
