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 65) {وَيَوْمَيُنَادِيْهِمْفَيَقُوْلُمَاذَاۤاَجَبْتُمُالْمُرْسَلِيْنَ :} This is the second question which is about prophethood: when My messengers conveyed My message to you and guided you to follow it, what answer did you give them? The first question was about tawheed; these are the two questions that will be asked in the grave, that is, "{مَنْرَبُّكَ}?" "Who is your Lord?" and "{مَنْنَبِيُّكَ}?" "Who is your Prophet?" And the third question is, "{مَادِيْنُكَ}?" "What is your religion?" The believer's answer will be: {’’ رَبِّيَاللّٰهُوَنَبِيِّيْمُحَمَّدٌصَلَّياللّٰهُعَلَيْهِوَسَلَّمَوَدِيْنِيَالْإِسْلَامُ‘‘} "My Lord is Allah, my Prophet is Muhammad (peace be upon him), and my religion is Islam." [See: Musnad al-Bazzār: 17/154, H: 9760. Silsilah al-Aḥādīth aṣ-Ṣaḥīḥah: 127/6, H: 2628]
