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 26){ قُلْ اِنَّمَا الْعِلْمُ عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ … :} That is, the knowledge of the Hour is only with Allah; I neither have the power to bring the Hour nor do I know its time. My only duty is to inform you about the Hour before its arrival and to warn you of its terrors, so I have fulfilled this duty. There are many other things besides the Hour whose coming is certain, but their time is unknown. Just look at death—so should one not prepare for the Hour or for death simply because, although it is certain to come, its time is unknown?
