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 1){طٰهٰ :} Apparently, these are among the disjointed letters (muqatta‘at), because both of these letters are used as muqatta‘at elsewhere: "Ta" in {’’ طٰسٓمّٓ ‘‘} (Ash-Shu‘ara) and "Ha" in {’’ كٓهٰيٰعٓصٓ ‘‘ } (Maryam). For the explanation of the muqatta‘at, see the commentary on the first verse of Surah Al-Baqarah. ‘Abd al-Razzaq has narrated with his authentic chain from Qatadah and Hasan that the meaning of { ’’ طٰهٰ ‘‘ } is {’’يَا رَجُلُ!‘‘} "O man!" because in the tribe of Banu ‘Ukk, this word was used in this meaning, but the first opinion is more authentic, because the Qur’an was revealed in the dialect of Quraysh.
