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 13){ وَ اَنَا اخْتَرْتُكَ فَاسْتَمِعْ لِمَا يُوْحٰى:} There is no role of anyone’s striving or effort in attaining prophethood; it is solely and exclusively Allah’s selection. See Surah Al-Hajj (75). The Qadiani deceiver claimed that it could be attained through struggle and acquisition, thus during his own lifetime, thirteen people from among his followers claimed prophethood. See Qadianiyat by Abul Hasan Ali Nadwi.
