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.
Surah Yunus
(Ayah 1) ➊ { الٓرٰ :} These are disjointed letters; for explanation, see the first verse of Surah Al-Baqarah.
➋ {تِلْكَ اٰيٰتُ الْكِتٰبِ الْحَكِيْمِ : ’’ تِلْكَ ‘‘ } is a demonstrative pronoun, and the thing being referred to, {’’ اَلْآيَاتُ ‘‘}, is implied. What is meant is all the verses of the Noble Qur’an, which includes this Surah of ours as well, meaning these are the magnificent verses of the Book of Wisdom. {’’ الْحَكِيْمِ ‘‘} (full of perfect wisdom) means that it is filled with wisdom and insight; nothing in it is erroneous, nor contrary to reason, nor of a lower standard, rather every statement is based on perfect intellect and understanding. Another meaning is that this Book is extremely firm and strong; there is no internal contradiction in its verses, nor will its lawful and unlawful, its limits and rulings, ever be abrogated, meaning "Hakim" in the sense of "firmly established."
