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 41) {وَ اِنْ كَذَّبُوْكَ فَقُلْ لِّيْ عَمَلِيْ …:} That is, if they persist in denying even after the proof has been established, then clearly say to them that the duty of conveying the Quran and Allah’s commands that was placed upon me, I have fulfilled it without any omission or addition. If you refuse to believe in it, then you are responsible for your own deeds; I will bear no burden for it. For a few more verses of this meaning, see Surah Al-Baqarah (139), Aal-e-Imran (20), Ash-Shura (15), and the complete Surah Al-Kafiroon.
