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 101)➊ {بَدِيْعُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الْاَرْضِ:} The meaning of "Badi’" is one who creates something without any prior example, that is, there was no previous example of them, He originated them.
➋ {اَنّٰى يَكُوْنُ لَهٗ وَلَدٌ … :} After refuting the polytheists, now those are refuted who believed Allah has offspring. It is said, how can Allah have offspring, when offspring is that which is produced through a wife, and if someone is created without a wife, then that is a creation, not offspring, just as in the creation of the heavens and the earth or the creation of Adam (peace be upon him). (Razi)

Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan — Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf

Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan is a well-known Quran commentary by Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. This tafsir explains the meanings of the Quran in accordance with the methodology of the Salaf (early righteous generations), relying on authentic sources and straightforward language. 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.

11. 1. That is, just as Allah alone is unique in creating all these things, and no one is His partner, in the same way, He alone deserves to be worshipped, and no one else should be associated with Him in worship. But people, leaving aside this One Being, have made the jinn His partners, even though they themselves are created by Allah. The polytheists actually worship idols or persons buried in graves, but here it is said that they have made the jinn partners of Allah. In reality, by 'jinn' is meant the devils (shayatin), at whose behest polytheism is committed, so it is as if the worship is actually of the devil himself. This subject has been mentioned in several places in the Noble Quran, for example: Surah Nisa 117, Surah Maryam 44, Surah Yasin 60, Surah Saba 41.

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. Known for his eloquent and accessible writing style, Kilani authored this tafsir with a focus on clarity — making Quranic meanings understandable to the common reader. 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.

He is the Originator of the heavens and the earth. [104] How could He have a child when He has no spouse? He created all things, and He is, of all things, All-Knowing.

[104] He brought the earth and the heavens into existence without any material and without any prior design or example. This refutes the materialists. And since He has no wife, therefore Allah can have neither a son nor a daughter. This refutes the Jews, Christians, and all polytheists. The Jews used to call ‘Uzair the son of Allah, the Christians called Sayyiduna ‘Isa ؑ the son of Allah, and the Arab polytheists considered the angels to be Allah’s daughters. As for the polytheists of other countries, they have invented so many sons and daughters for Allah that it is difficult to count them. They have even established entire lineages of such gods and goddesses. Whereas all these things are creations of Allah.
