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 193) {وَ اِنْ تَدْعُوْهُمْ اِلَى الْهُدٰى لَا يَتَّبِعُوْكُمْ …:} In the above verses, all kinds of power were negated from the idols; now, all kinds of knowledge are being negated from them. The meaning is that the idols, whom they are worshipping, neither have the power to benefit or harm, nor can they hear, see, or be aware of your condition in any other way. [ديكهيے مريم : ۴۲] Then how foolish you are that you expect from them that they will guide you to the straight path, or if you invite them to the straight path, they will follow you; rather, the reality is that neither are you of any use to them nor are they of any use to you.
