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 71) {اَوَ لَمْ يَرَوْا اَنَّا خَلَقْنَا لَهُمْ …:} From here, the arguments for Tawheed and then the Hereafter are mentioned. {’’ اَنْعَامًا ‘‘ ’’نَعَمٌ‘‘} is the plural, meaning: Have they not seen that these animals, of which they have become owners, all of them We have created? Although the mention of Allah’s hands is found in other places in the Noble Qur’an and it is obligatory to believe in them and to consign their modality to Allah Almighty, here the scholars have explained the meaning of “with Our own hands” as: We have created them Ourselves, without any partner or intermediary. No one else has the slightest share in their creation. (Fath al-Bayan)
