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 76) {”بَلٰى“} (Why not) — that is, there will certainly be accountability for this breach of trust and betrayal. The person beloved and favored by Allah is the one who fulfills the covenants made with Allah and with people (this includes the covenant to believe in the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him), and then fears Allah in every matter and follows the Shariah that he, peace be upon him, were sent with.
