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).

(Ayah 1 to 3) {اَرَءَيْتَ الَّذِيْ يُكَذِّبُ بِالدِّيْنِ …: ’’دَعَّ يَدُعُّ دَعًّا‘‘} (n) To push away. "Have you seen the one who denies the recompense...?" This is addressed firstly to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), and after that, every person is its addressee. In these verses, it is mentioned how, due to denying the recompense of deeds on the Day of Resurrection, a person develops hardness of heart and wretchedness. Since, for him, the world is everything, he neither expects any benefit from showing sympathy to an orphan or caring for the needy, nor does he fear any accountability or punishment for usurping their rights. Therefore, he is extremely merciless in dealing with these helpless people. If an orphan demands his father's inheritance or any other right, he pushes him out. As for showing mercy to the needy and feeding them himself, that is out of the question; he is not even willing to tell someone else to do so. Only the person who believes in reward and punishment can show sympathy to orphans and the needy.

The Four Meanings of Deen:
The word "Deen" comes in four meanings:
(1) The complete and perfect sovereignty of Allah Almighty
(2) The complete servitude and worship of man
(3) The law of reward and punishment
(4) The power to enforce the law of reward and punishment.
The disbelievers of Makkah denied all four of these. Not only did they not accept Allah alone as God, but they also associated other deities in their worship. They also denied Allah's law of reward and punishment and the Hereafter. In this verse, although the apparent address is to you ﷺ, the commentary is about the disbelievers of Makkah, describing what social and moral evils denial of the Hereafter had produced in them.
