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 5) { هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُوْنَ:} Alif Lam denotes perfection, therefore it has been translated as "completely successful," meaning only those muttaqin who possess these qualities will remain steadfast on the straight path from their Lord, and only they will be honored with complete success. Allah has promised those who have faith and do righteous deeds that He will guide them and grant them Paradise as well. [ ديكهيے يونس : ۹]
