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 74) {اِلَّا عِبَادَ اللّٰهِ الْمُخْلَصِيْنَ :} That is, We destroyed all the deniers, except for those servants of Allah who were chosen for His oneness and worship; only they were saved. Ahead, a few stories of {’’مُنْذِرِيْنَ‘‘} (warners) and a few of {’’مُنْذَرِيْنَ‘‘} (those who were warned) are mentioned, so that the hearts of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) and all callers to the truth may find reassurance, and those who deny the truth may take a lesson.
