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 87) {وَ مِنْ اٰبَآىِٕهِمْ…:} That is, their fathers and forefathers up to the top, and their sons, grandsons, great-grandsons down to the bottom, and among their brothers, whoever were believers, We also guided them and granted them honor. (Ibn Kathir)

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.

87. 1. By "آبا" are meant the ancestors as the roots, and by "ذریات" are meant the descendants as the branches. That is, from among these roots and branches and brothers, We have granted many the rank of guidance. The meaning of آجتِیْبِآءُ is to select and to count among one's special servants and to join them with oneself. It is derived from جَبِبْتُ المَآ ءَ فِی الحَوضِ (I have filled the cistern with water). Thus, to join among one's special servants. "اصطفاء" (Istifa), "تخلیص" (purification), and "اختیار" (selection) are also used in this sense. Its object is "مصطفیٰ", "مجتبی", "مخلص", and "مختار" (Fath al-Qadeer).

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.

87. And from among their fathers, their descendants, and their brothers, We chose some of them and guided them to the straight path [88].

[88] Besides this group of all these Prophets (peace be upon them), We also blessed many people from among their fathers, forefathers, families, descendants, and their brothers with guidance towards the straight path. And the noteworthy aspect of this guidance is that they were monotheists and extremely averse to polytheism, because polytheism is such an evil calamity that if even the aforementioned Prophets had committed it, all their deeds would have been rendered void. This statement is made for the sake of argument and as a severe warning for others; otherwise, it is impossible for Prophets to commit polytheism. In fact, the very purpose of the Prophets’ mission is to eradicate polytheism and to connect the servants directly to Allah Almighty.
