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 72,71){ اَفَرَءَيْتُمُ النَّارَ الَّتِيْ تُوْرُوْنَ …:’’أَوْرٰي يُوْرِيْ‘‘ (افعال) ’’النَّارَ‘‘} Kindling fire. This is the fourth argument brought here as evidence for the Oneness of Allah and the truth of the Resurrection. (See Ya-Sin: 80) In {’’ اَمْ نَحْنُ الْمُنْشِـُٔوْنَ‘‘}, the definite article on the predicate creates exclusivity, therefore it is translated as "Or are We alone the Creator?"
