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 66) {رَبُّالسَّمٰوٰتِوَالْاَرْضِوَمَابَيْنَهُمَا … :} In this verse, three attributes of Allah Almighty are mentioned which are not found in anyone except Allah. Then why worship anyone else, who is neither One, nor the Owner of might and majesty, nor the Lord of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them, nor does he possess power and authority in his hand, nor does he have the authority to forgive sins?
