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.
At the end of the surah, this conclusion is very appropriate in the context of the refutation of the Christians, that is, He alone is the Sovereign of all things in the heavens and the earth (including humans), and it is His exclusive right that He be worshipped. Whether it is ‘Isa (Jesus) عليه السلام, his mother, or the Holy Spirit, all are His servants, who in no way can be considered partners with Him in divinity.
