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 4){ اِذَا رُجَّتِ الْاَرْضُ رَجًّا:} is the substitute for {’’ اِذَا وَقَعَتِ الْوَاقِعَةُ ‘‘}. {’’رَجَّ يَرُجُّ رَجًّا‘‘} (n) means to shake violently. With the infinitive {’’ رَجًّا ‘‘}, emphasis is intended in an exaggerated manner. This is the same point that has been stated in {’’ اِذَا زُلْزِلَتِ الْاَرْضُ زِلْزَالَهَا ‘‘} and {’’ اِنَّ زَلْزَلَةَ السَّاعَةِ شَيْءٌ عَظِيْمٌ ‘‘}.
