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 9) {يٰمُوْسٰۤى اِنَّهٗۤ اَنَا اللّٰهُ الْعَزِيْزُ الْحَكِيْمُ:} See Surah Ta-Ha (14), here Allah Almighty, introducing Himself, has mentioned two of His attributes: one is {’’عزيز‘‘} and the other is {’’حكيم‘‘}. Because the great responsibility that was about to be given to Musa (peace be upon him), it was necessary to assure him that when inviting Pharaoh, there was no need to be overawed by his grandeur or power and greatness, because the One who is sending him is Allah, who is dominant over all and is perfect in wisdom. There are countless wisdoms in raising Musa (peace be upon him) in Pharaoh’s house, then making him herd sheep for ten years, and then, after losing his way in the desert on a dark night, suddenly granting him prophethood and miracles and sending him to Pharaoh.
