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 8){ تَبْصِرَةًوَّذِكْرٰى …: ’’ تَبْصِرَةً ‘‘} and {’’ ذِكْرٰى ‘‘}—both of these are objects of purpose (maf'ūl lahu), meaning We created all this and mentioned it here to show and remind every person who turns towards Allah, because only he benefits from this admonition. For the one who pays no attention, all of this is useless: They took the blind man around the market, showed him the whole city, In the end, he said, "I did not see anything." "That is, the blind man was shown the market and taken around the whole city, but in the end, he only said that he did not see anything."
