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 3) {وَ هٰذَا الْبَلَدِ الْاَمِيْنِ:} The city of Makkah, which was settled by Ibrahim and Ismail (peace be upon them), and where the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was born. It is called "the secure city" because Ibrahim (peace be upon him) prayed for it: « رَبِّ اجْعَلْ هٰذَا بَلَدًا اٰمِنًا » [ البقرۃ : ۱۲۶ ] "O my Lord! Make this (place) a city of security."
