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 3) {خَلَقَ الْاِنْسَانَ:} This is also the predicate of the word {’’ اَلرَّحْمٰنُ ‘‘}, and by bringing it in the form of a verb, the benefit of specification is achieved. Thus, two things are mentioned in this verse: one is that it is Ar-Rahman alone who created man, so worship is also due to Him alone. The second is the mention of the blessing of creating man. The mention of all other blessings present in the heavens and the earth comes after this, because all of them are after the creation of man; if he did not exist, what benefit would any blessing be to him? However, the mention of the blessing of teaching the Quran is stated even before this, to draw attention to its importance. "It is Ar-Rahman alone who created man"—this is not something that the polytheists did not accept, but stating it in explicit words means that, in reality, the polytheists do not accept this, because if they did, why would they worship anyone else?

3. 2. That is, these monkeys and other animals did not evolve into humans. As is the philosophy of evolution by Darwin. Rather, Allah created humans in this very form and appearance, who are a separate and independent creation from animals. The word "insan" is used as a genus.

Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran — Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani

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.

3. He created man [2].

[2]
It is Necessary for Every Owner to Inform His Possession of What He Wants From It; Therefore, the Quran Was Revealed:

Allah alone created man, so the guidance of man was also the responsibility of Allah. Therefore, Allah fulfilled this responsibility by revealing the Quran. The revelation of the Quran was required both by His mercy and by His being the Creator. Then, along with being the Creator, He is also the Owner, and everything, including man, is His possession. And it is necessary for every owner to inform his possession of what he wants from it and for what purpose it was created. Therefore, it was also necessary for Allah to inform humans of their purpose of life, and this need was fulfilled by revealing the Quran.
