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 20){ ثُمَّ السَّبِيْلَ يَسَّرَهٗ :} Then He made the way easy for him. There can be three meanings of this: First, that He made the way out of the mother's womb easy for him, otherwise he could not have come out from the confinement of those narrow bones and would have died there himself and also caused the death of the mother. Second, that whichever path of good or evil he wishes to follow, that is made easy for him. And third, that the recognition of the right path is made easy for him, by which he can believe in his Creator. All three meanings are correct, but in accordance with {’’ مِنْ نُّطْفَةٍ خَلَقَهٗ فَقَدَّرَهٗ ‘‘}, the first meaning is more correct. (Al-Tasheel)
