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 11) {تُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِاللّٰهِ وَ رَسُوْلِهٖ وَ تُجَاهِدُوْنَ … :} This is the explanation of that trade, meaning that trade is that you believe in Allah and His Messenger and perform jihad in the way of Allah with your wealth and your lives. {’’ تُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِاللّٰهِ وَ رَسُوْلِهٖ ‘‘} The present tense verb is in the meaning of the imperative verb; by bringing the present tense, the emphasis of the command is intended, just as when emphasis on an action is intended, instead of saying "do this work," it is said "you will do this work."
