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) ➊ {يٰۤاَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْۤا اِنْ تَنْصُرُوا اللّٰهَ:} By helping Allah is meant helping Allah’s religion and Allah’s friends, because Allah is Self-Sufficient and does not need anyone’s help, as stated in the previous verse: «وَ لَوْ يَشَآءُ اللّٰهُ لَانْتَصَرَ مِنْهُمْ » [ محمد : ۴ ] “And if Allah wills, He can surely take retribution from them.” Helping Allah’s religion is done by striving in His path and sacrificing life and wealth, as well as by establishing the proofs and evidences of the true religion over its enemies.
➋ { يَنْصُرْكُمْ:} Allah’s help comes in two ways: one is that He grants us victory and dominance over our enemies in this world, but sometimes this happens and sometimes it does not. The second is that He grants us the Hereafter, even if at some point in this world we have to face defeat.
➌ {وَ يُثَبِّتْ اَقْدَامَكُمْ:} That is, He will keep you firm upon the religion, will not let you fall into doubt or suspicion, will grant you steadfastness in battle so that the thought of fleeing will never even occur, no matter how numerous the enemies are, and on the Day of Resurrection He will keep your feet firm on the “Sirat” and protect you from slipping and falling into Hell, when all people will be saying {’’ اَللّٰهُمَّ سَلِّمْ سَلِّمْ‘‘} (O Allah! Grant safety, grant safety) [ دیکھیے بخاري: ۶۵۷۳ ]
