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 85) {وَ تَبٰرَكَ الَّذِيْ لَهٗ مُلْكُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الْاَرْضِ … :} This too is a proof of Allah being the only deity, that He is the owner of countless goodness and virtue; to Him belongs the sovereignty in the heavens and the earth, everywhere. The knowledge of the Hour (Day of Judgment) is also with Him, and you will be returned to Him, not to anyone else. Therefore, He alone is the One who will reward and punish you for your good or bad deeds.
