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 29){ اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ اَجْرَمُوْا … : ’’ يَضْحَكُوْنَ ‘‘} "used to mock"—that what kind of madness has overtaken them that they have left the immediate pleasures of the world and are chasing after the promises of unseen, imaginary pleasures of tomorrow. From the words of {’’ كَانُوْا ‘‘} and {’’ يَضْحَكُوْنَ ‘‘}, it is understood that this was their constant occupation. This is not only about the polytheists of Makkah; even today’s atheists and irreligious people feel pleased and vent their inner frustration by calling Muslims reactionary, old-fashioned, narrow-minded, backward, and using such sarcastic titles. Many poets have also mocked Paradise and its people; all of them should fear the message of these verses.
