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 27 to 29) {ءَاَنْتُمْ اَشَدُّ خَلْقًا … :} At the beginning of the Surah, as evidence for the truth of the Day of Judgment, the angels and those few matters that they carry out were mentioned, meaning, what difficulty is there for the Lord of these angels to resurrect you again? From here, the mention of the evidences of the Day of Judgment begins again. Thus, from Ayah (27) to (33), Allah Almighty has mentioned several of His magnificent creations, that for a Lord possessing such powers, what difficulty could there be in resurrecting you again?
