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 26,25){ قَالَ رَبِّ اشْرَحْ لِيْ صَدْرِيْ … :} In another place it is said: «{ وَ يَضِيْقُ صَدْرِيْ وَ لَا يَنْطَلِقُ لِسَانِيْ }» [ الشعراء : ۱۳ ] "And my breast becomes tight and my tongue does not move." That is, remove the constriction I feel in my heart from taking on such a great responsibility, and grant me the courage, perseverance, and fortitude needed to bear this great position, and make the task of conveying the message easy for me.
