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 105) ➊ { كَذَّبَتْ قَوْمُ نُوْحٍ المُرْسَلِيْنَ:} The surah begins by consoling the Noble Prophet (peace be upon him) and mentioning the evil end of those who denied the messengers. After mentioning Musa and Ibrahim (peace be upon them) and their people, now the people of Nuh are mentioned. In this too, there is consolation for the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) and mention of the evil end of those who denied Allah’s messengers. After this, in the mention of ‘Ad, Thamud, the people of Lut, and the companions of the thicket, these two aspects are also prominent.

➋ Although they denied only one prophet, Nuh (peace be upon him), since the call of all prophets was one and denying one prophet is to deny the message that all prophets brought, it is therefore said that they denied all the prophets. For comparison, see Surah Al-A’raf (59–64), Yunus (25–48), Bani Isra’il (3), Anbiya (76, 77), Mu’minun (23–30), and Furqan (37). In addition, for details of the incident of Nuh (peace be upon him), also keep in view these places: Surah Ankabut (14, 15), Saffat (75–82), Qamar (9–15), and the complete Surah Nuh.
