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) {وَ وَجَدَكَ ضَآلًّا فَهَدٰى:} Before prophethood, Allah protected you from every kind of evil, to the extent that He said: « فَقَدْ لَبِثْتُ فِيْكُمْ عُمُرًا مِّنْ قَبْلِهٖ اَفَلَا تَعْقِلُوْنَ » [ یونس : ۱۶ ] “(Say to them) Indeed, I have spent a lifetime among you before this (prophethood); do you not then understand?” However, the correct way of worshipping Allah was not known to you; this became known when Allah granted you prophethood. Thus, Allah says: « وَ كَذٰلِكَ اَوْحَيْنَاۤ اِلَيْكَ رُوْحًا مِّنْ اَمْرِنَا مَا كُنْتَ تَدْرِيْ مَا الْكِتٰبُ وَ لَا الْاِيْمَانُ » [الشورٰی : ۵۲ ] “And thus We have revealed to you a Spirit by Our command; you did not know what the Book was, nor what faith was.” In this verse, this favor is mentioned that you were unaware of the way, so We informed you of it. In addition, see Surah Hud (49), Al-Ankabut (48), and Surah Al-Qasas (86).
