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 161,160) {كَذَّبَتْ قَوْمُ لُوْطٍ المُرْسَلِيْنَ … :} For the circumstances of Lut (peace be upon him), see Surah Al-A'raf (80 to 84), Hud (77 to 83), Al-Hijr (61 to 77), Al-Anbiya (71 to 75), An-Naml (54 to 58), As-Saffat (133 to 138), and Al-Qamar (33 to 39). Lut (peace be upon him) was the nephew of Ibrahim (peace be upon him). Originally, he was from Iraq. The towns to which he was sent as a messenger had their capital at Sodom. The inhabitants of these towns are called the people of Lut because he settled among them. It is possible that his wife was also from among them. In the next verse, Lut (peace be upon him) is called their brother in this context; otherwise, he had no blood relation with them. That is why, when the wicked people of his community insisted on dishonoring his guests, he said: «{ لَوْ اَنَّ لِيْ بِكُمْ قُوَّةً اَوْ اٰوِيْۤ اِلٰى رُكْنٍ شَدِيْدٍ }» [ ھود : ۸۰ ] "If only I had some power against you, or I could take refuge in a strong support." For details, see Surah Al-A'raf (80 to 84), Hud (77 to 83), and Al-Hijr (61 to 77).
