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 92) {مَا لَكُمْ لَا تَنْطِقُوْنَ :} When there was no response from the idols, he said, "What is wrong with you that you do not speak! Your faces and all your limbs are like those of humans, but you can neither eat nor speak. Then it is astonishing that those humans who eat, drink, and speak have started worshipping you?"
