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 7,6){ اَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِعَادٍ… : ’’ الْعِمَادِ ‘‘} is a generic noun that applies to both singular and plural, meaning "pillar." {’’ اِرَمَ ‘‘} is the name of a man from the descendants of Noah (peace be upon him), from whose lineage came the people of ‘Ad Iram. By ‘Ad Iram is meant the first ‘Ad, to whom Hud (peace be upon him) was sent, and the second or last ‘Ad refers to Thamud. Some believe that Iram was specifically the name of the place where the people of ‘Ad lived. (And Allah knows best.) However, Hafiz Ibn Kathir (may Allah have mercy on him) has declared the statements of those people to be nonsense who described Iram as a city where one brick was of gold and one of silver. The literal meaning of {’’ ذَاتِ الْعِمَادِ ‘‘} is "possessors of pillars." This was their title because they were very tall (like the trunks of date palms—see Haqqah: 7), and also because they built buildings with large pillars and constructed ever higher monuments merely to display their grandeur and glory. See Surah Ash-Shu‘ara (128).

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.

6. 1. A prophet, Hud (AS), was sent to them. They denied him, so Allah sent a severe wind as punishment. It blew continuously for seven nights and eight days, and it completely destroyed them.
