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.
➋ { ذٰلِكَ يَوْمٌ مَّجْمُوْعٌ لَّهُ النَّاسُ :} That is, the Day of Resurrection is such a day for which all people will be gathered. Zamakhshari said that instead of the passive verb {’’يُجْمَعُ لَهُ‘‘} (will be gathered), the passive participle {’’ مَّجْمُوْعٌ لَّهُ ‘‘} (having been gathered) is used because the noun contains continuity and permanence, whereas the verb does not.
➌ { وَ ذٰلِكَ يَوْمٌ مَّشْهُوْدٌ:} That is, on that day all people will be present, no one will be able to hide or move here and there. One meaning is that on that day, testimony for every good or evil deed will be present and will also be presented. It also means that on that day, all previous and later humans and jinn will be present, as well as the angels, and the Divine Being Himself will come for judgment, as He said: «{ وَ جَآءَ رَبُّكَ وَ الْمَلَكُ صَفًّا صَفًّا }» [ الفجر : ۲۲ ] "And your Lord will come and the angels in rows upon rows."

[114] That is, only those people take heed from the stories of the rise and fall of nations or from the law of rise and fall, who possess the fear of Allah and remain fearful of being held accountable before Allah in the Hereafter. These events prove effective in restraining them from disobeying Allah. As for those who neither fear Allah nor the punishment of the Hereafter, they read or observe such instructive events superficially, attributing them to coincidences of time, or at most, they seek material or natural explanations for them.
[115] One translation of "the witnessed day" is that on that day all people will be presented, meaning that on that day, not only will everyone be gathered, but they will also be brought before Allah for questioning. The second meaning is that testimonies will be established regarding the cases of these people, and all proceedings will take place in the presence of everyone.
