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){ وَ تَكُوْنُ الْجِبَالُ كَالْعِهْنِ الْمَنْفُوْشِ: ’’اَلْعِهْنُ‘‘} Wool or colored wool. {’’ الْمَنْفُوْشِ ‘‘} Carded. On the Day of Resurrection, the mountains will be carded and turned into something like wool or tufts of cotton, as He said: « وَ يَسْـَٔلُوْنَكَ عَنِ الْجِبَالِ فَقُلْ يَنْسِفُهَا رَبِّيْ نَسْفًا » [ طٰہٰ : ۱۰۵ ] "And they ask you about the mountains, so say: my Lord will thoroughly card them." Since the mountains are red, black, white, and of countless colors, when they are carded, they will become like colored and carded wool. For the various states that will befall the mountains on the Day of Resurrection, see the commentary of Surah An-Naba (20).

Due to its reliability and adherence to sound Islamic scholarship, the Saudi government publishes and distributes this tafsir among the Hujjaj (pilgrims) visiting the Haramain. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.

1. ‘عھن’ refers to that wool which is dyed with various colors, fluffed, and carded. This describes the state of the mountains that will occur on the Day of Resurrection. In the Noble Quran, the condition of the mountains has been described in various ways, the details of which have already been mentioned earlier. Now, ahead, a brief mention is being made of those two groups who, on the Day of Resurrection, will be distinguished based on their deeds.

Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran — Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani

Known for his eloquent and accessible writing style, Kilani authored this tafsir with a focus on clarity — making Quranic meanings understandable to the common reader. The tafsir provides detailed historical context for verses related to battles and expeditions, and firmly refutes modernist ideologies using strong scriptural evidence. It is widely regarded as an invaluable resource for understanding the Quran and countering deviant interpretations. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.

And the mountains will be like carded wool of different colors [4],

[4] That is, the grip of the mountains on the earth will become loose. Then they will be leveled to the ground. On that day, they will be flying around as dust. Since mountains also have different colors—some are red, some are white in places, some are black—and similarly, wool also comes in different colors, therefore, when the mountains are blown away in the air, it will seem as if tufts of carded and colored wool are flying.
