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).

(Ayah 5) {وَ الرُّجْزَ فَاهْجُرْ:} Its literal meaning is "And keep away from impurity." The meaning is that you should stay away from every kind of impurity. "Rujz" and "Rijs" are the same thing; their foremost example is idols and the shrines of other than Allah, as it is said: «فَاجْتَنِبُوا الرِّجْسَ مِنَ الْاَوْثَانِ وَ اجْتَنِبُوْا قَوْلَ الزُّوْرِ » [ الحج : ۳۰ ] "So avoid the filth of idols and avoid false speech." That is, avoid impurity, which are idols. Besides this, in {’’ الزُّوْرِ ‘‘} (impurity) are included every kind of corrupt belief, bad morals, false statements, evil character, and all visible and invisible impurities. In these two verses, the caller is instructed to keep himself pure and clean in every respect, because if he himself is impure or polluted, then what effect will his call have?

Inner Purification:

﴿رُجْزٌ﴾ refers to both outward dirt, filth, and impurity, as well as inner impurity or filth of the heart. This word applies to all those satanic whispers that exist in the heart, whether they are related to the worship of others besides Allah or to evil thoughts. And this inner purification is even more necessary than outward cleanliness.
