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 115) {وَ نَجَّيْنٰهُمَا وَ قَوْمَهُمَا مِنَ الْكَرْبِ الْعَظِيْمِ :} By the great calamity is meant the slavery of Pharaoh, the killing of sons, and the sparing of women. In addition, salvation from drowning in the sea is also deliverance from the great distress.
