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 { يُحْيٖ وَ يُمِيْتُ:} Although both these attributes are included in the meaning of {’’ لَهٗ مُلْكُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الْاَرْضِ ‘‘}, they have been specifically mentioned separately because these two acts are among Allah’s dealings in the heavens and the earth, the reality of which no one knows except Him, and no creature can claim to have any part in them. In this is also evidence for the possibility of the Resurrection, which the polytheists deny, and it also points to the falsehood of the gods they have invented, meaning {’’ لَا يَمْلِكُوْنَ مَوْتًا وَّ لَا حَيٰوةً وَّ لَا نُشُوْرًا ‘‘} that false deities neither have power over death, nor life, nor resurrection. See Surah Al-Furqan (3).
➌ {وَ هُوَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيْرٌ:} For its explanation, see the commentary of the first verse of Surah Al-Mulk.
