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 19,18) {اُولٰٓىِٕكَ اَصْحٰبُ الْمَيْمَنَةِ … :} By "those of the right hand" is meant that they will be given their book of deeds in their right hand, similarly, "those of the left hand" will be given their book of deeds in their left hand. The second meaning of {’’ اَصْحٰبُ الْمَيْمَنَةِ ‘‘} is blessed, fortunate, and the meaning of {’’ اَصْحٰبُ الْمَشْـَٔمَةِ ‘‘} is inauspicious, unfortunate.
