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 2) {تِلْكَ اٰيٰتُ الْكِتٰبِ الْمُبِيْنِ:} This introductory sentence is entirely appropriate to the subject that is discussed further in this surah. The disbelievers of Makkah used to ask the Prophet (peace be upon him) for a sign (miracle), so that by seeing it they could be assured that you have truly brought this message from Allah. It is stated, if anyone seeks a sign to believe, then the verses of this clear Book are present; there is no need for any further miracle. Allah Almighty has repeated this statement at the end of every incident in this surah: «{ اِنَّ فِيْ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰيَةً }» [ الشعراء : ۸ ] "Indeed, in this there is surely a great sign." That is, every verse and every incident that comes in the Qur'an itself is a miracle, which is proof that the Qur'an is from Allah, and all creation is incapable of producing anything like it.
