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 79) {وَ الَّذِيْ هُوَ يُطْعِمُنِيْ وَ يَسْقِيْنِ :} These two attributes are also exclusive, that He alone feeds me and gives me drink, and no one else. Here too, exclusivity is necessary because people have made others as providers and sustainers. This is the third reason for Him being { ’’رب العالمين‘‘}, that after creating me, He did not abandon me, rather He provides me with everything I need.
