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 63){قَالَ اذْهَبْ فَمَنْ تَبِعَكَ مِنْهُمْ … :} The acceptance of Satan's request is evidence that sometimes Allah Almighty also accepts the supplication of a disobedient person, and also that the acceptance of supplication is not a sign of Allah's pleasure. Rather, sometimes He accepts supplication due to His displeasure, for example, the acceptance of supplication for success in unlawful earnings and illicit love and immorality is not a sign of Allah's pleasure, but rather a prelude to His punishment.
