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 7){ رَبِّ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الْاَرْضِ وَ مَا بَيْنَهُمَا … :} In the previous verse, the address was to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him). The disbelievers of Makkah used to admit that the Lord of the heavens, the earth, and the entire universe is Allah Almighty. Therefore, now addressing them again, it is said that if you are convinced that the responsibility for the lordship and nurturing of all the creatures in the universe lies solely with Allah Almighty, then you should also be convinced that this Messenger has indeed been sent by Allah Almighty for your guidance, because He is not only responsible for your physical nurturing but also for your spiritual nurturing and for showing you the straight path.
