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 3,2){ رَسُوْلٌمِّنَاللّٰهِيَتْلُوْاصُحُفًامُّطَهَّرَةً …:} The Holy Qur’an has been described as {’’ صُحُفًامُّطَهَّرَةً ‘‘} and its commands and surahs as {’’ قَيِّمَةٌ ‘‘} (very strong), meaning that there is no impure statement, weak or baseless story, or command in them. If anyone desires to know the purity and strength of the pure scriptures brought by the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) and the strong commands written in them, he should compare the Holy Qur’an with the earlier scriptures present in the collection of the Bible, in which, along with authentic matters, statements that are beneath reason and morality, clearly altered commands, and the impurity of disrespect and slander against the Exalted Being of Allah and the noble prophets can be clearly seen—for example, the baseless accusations against Lut and Sulaiman (peace be upon them), from which they are completely pure and free.
