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 38) ➊ {وَ لَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الْاَرْضَ وَ مَا بَيْنَهُمَا فِيْ سِتَّةِ اَيَّامٍ … :} As proof of the Resurrection, the creation of the heavens and the earth is mentioned again: Indeed, We created all these heavens and the earth in six days, and no kind of fatigue touched Us, so why can We not resurrect man again? The same point was mentioned earlier: « اَفَعَيِيْنَا بِالْخَلْقِ الْاَوَّلِ » [ قٓ : ۱۵ ] "So were We worn out by the first creation?" It is mentioned again here because repeating something makes it settle in the mind.
➋ {وَ مَا مَسَّنَا مِنْ لُّغُوْبٍ:} This also refutes the Jews and Christians who slandered Allah by claiming that He created the heavens and the earth in six days and rested on the seventh day. In the Book of Genesis (2:2) of the Torah, the words are: {’’فَاسْتَرَاحَ فِي الْيَوْمِ السَّابِعِ‘‘} meaning "He rested on the seventh day."
