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 96) {فَالِقُ الْاِصْبَاحِ …:} He is the One Who splits the darkness of night to bring forth the bright morning, then He made the darkness of night so that everyone may find rest and tranquility, and He made the sun and the moon means for calculation, by which the reckoning of time, days, nights, months, and years comes into existence. {’’ الْعَزِيْزِ ‘‘} refers to the One of perfect power, and {’’ الْعَلِيْمِ ‘‘} refers to the One of perfect knowledge, Whose knowledge and power encompass every particle of the heavens and the earth. Generally, in the Quran, the creation and subjugation of night, day, sun, and moon are concluded with these two attributive names from the beautiful names.
