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 81){ اِنَّهٗ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ:} Because he was among Our believing servants. From this it is understood that faith is the highest rank among the ranks of the servants, because all the beliefs and actions of the religion are included in it. Then, as faith becomes more complete, so will the reward be more complete. And it is obvious that the perfection of the faith of Noah (peace be upon him) and the other prophets cannot be reached by ordinary people, and as for our Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), Allah Almighty has made him the leader of the children of Adam; the rank of his faith is the highest of all.
