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 118,117){ وَ اَوْحَيْنَاۤ اِلٰى مُوْسٰۤى …:} When Musa (peace be upon him) cast his staff by the revelation of Allah, it began to swallow up the false snakes they had made. As a result, the miracle, which was the truth, was established, and the magic, which was based on falsehood, trickery, and deception, became useless and void.
