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 154) ➊ { ثُمَّ اٰتَيْنَا مُوْسَى الْكِتٰبَ:} "Then We gave Moses the Book"—here, the word "then" is not for chronological order, meaning that Moses (peace be upon him) received the Book later, but rather it is due to the order of mention; this is called "order of mention," for example, see Surah Al-Balad, Ayah (17). In several places, Allah Almighty has mentioned the Qur'an and the Torah together. (Ibn Kathir)
➋ {تَمَامًا عَلَى الَّذِيْۤ اَحْسَنَ …… : ’’ تَمَامًا ‘‘} Here, {’’ اِتْمَامًا ‘‘} (to complete) means to perfect the favor upon every person who does good, and that We revealed the Torah as a detailed explanation of everything, guidance, and mercy, and its purpose was that they, that is, the Children of Israel, would believe in the meeting with their Lord.
