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.
➋ {وَ اَنَّ اَكْثَرَكُمْ فٰسِقُوْنَ:} The real matter is that most of you are fasiq (disobedient) and wicked, and all your religious monopoly is based on group prejudice and false kinds of traditions, therefore you do not like to see any good in anyone other than yourselves. The narration of a fasiq is not even acceptable, because he has no restraint from lying, so all your traditions and actions against Islam are worthless. Observe the justice of the Noble Qur’an, that despite intense anger, it did not call all of them fasiq, but only most of them. Because among them there were some who were not fasiq, and these were the people who, upon hearing the call of Islam, accepted faith.

In Fact, the Jews and Christians Should Have Loved the Muslims:
The real reason for the Jews’ enmity towards the Muslims and the Prophet of Islam was that the Last Prophet was not sent from among the Jews themselves. They could not openly express this, so instead, to vent their inner jealousy and frustration, they would malign the Prophet of Islam in various ways and cause him distress. Allah has answered their real grievance at several places, stating that prophethood is not your monopoly, that no matter how many breaches of trust you commit, prophethood must remain within your lineage. Prophethood is a grace from Allah; He grants it to whomever He deems appropriate. In this verse, Allah commands His Prophet to ask these Jews what harm have we done to you that you have become perpetually hostile towards us. We believe in the Torah, in the Gospel, and in all the Prophets. In this sense, it should have been us who harbored enmity towards you, because you neither believe in the Quran nor in me. But here, the situation is completely the opposite.
