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 5) ➊ {سَلٰمٌ هِيَ حَتّٰى مَطْلَعِ الْفَجْرِ: ’’ سَلٰمٌ ‘‘} is a fronted predicate and {’’ هِيَ ‘‘} is a postponed subject, meaning that night is entirely peace until the break of dawn. From sunset to dawn, throughout the night, the believers remain safe from the evil of Satan and every kind of trial, and they feel a strange tranquility, calmness, and peace in their hearts.
