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 49) {ذُقْ اِنَّكَ اَنْتَ الْعَزِيْزُ الْكَرِيْمُ: ’’ ذُقْ ‘‘ ’’ذَاقَ يَذُوْقُ ذَوْقًا‘‘} is an imperative, "Taste." This will be said to them sarcastically and mockingly, because in the world they considered and presented themselves as such. The definite article on the predicate of the sentence {’’ الْعَزِيْزُ الْكَرِيْمُ ‘‘} and the separating pronoun {’’ اَنْتَ ‘‘} create a sense of exclusivity, that you alone are the one who is mighty and noble.
