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 60){ قَالَ الْمَلَاُ مِنْ قَوْمِهٖۤ ……:} In clear misguidance because he wants to pull us away from our ancestral religion towards a new religion (Tawheed). In the stories of the Prophets (peace be upon them), the Qur’an has prominently stated that among those who opposed the call to Tawheed, the class of the elite has always been at the forefront, because these people are the first target of a revolutionary call.
