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 62) {سُنَّةَ اللّٰهِ فِي الَّذِيْنَ خَلَوْا مِنْ قَبْلُ … :} That is, in order to keep society pure, it has always been Allah Almighty’s practice that those who harass women and spread fear and terror are arrested and cut into pieces. This punishment is not new; rather, in all previous divine laws, this same punishment has always been given. Allah Almighty has not made any change in this, nor will there be any change in the future. Shah Abdul Qadir writes: “It is also mentioned in the Torah that evildoers should be cast out from among you.” (Muwaddih)
