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 13) {وَ لَهٗ مَا سَكَنَ فِي الَّيْلِ وَ النَّهَارِ …:} In the previous verse: «قُلْ لِّمَنْ مَّا فِي السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الْاَرْضِ », Allah’s sovereignty over every place was mentioned; in this verse, His sovereignty over every time and era is described. Because apart from the heavens and the earth, there is no other place, and apart from night and day, there is no other time; thus, at every place and at every time, His rule and authority prevail. After establishing that Allah is the Owner of all places and all times and eras, it is said: «وَ هُوَ السَّمِيْعُ الْعَلِيْمُ» meaning He hears the supplication and call of everything. {’’الْعَلِيْمُ ‘‘} He is aware of the actions and needs of everything, so what is the need to call upon anyone else? Note that here in {’’ مَا سَكَنَ ‘‘}, “rest” means hulool, i.e., residing, and not “rest” as the opposite of movement. Therefore, “is staying” also means whoever is residing in the night and day.
