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 34){ اِنَّا كَذٰلِكَ نَفْعَلُ بِالْمُجْرِمِيْنَ:} By "criminals" is meant the disbelievers and polytheists, because it is mentioned ahead that they used to show arrogance in saying "La ilaha illallah." That is, We deal with them in such a way that just as they were partners in crime, they are also partners in punishment.
