Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali

Verily, those who believe (in the Oneness of Allâh - Islâmic Monotheism) and do righteous good deeds, and humble themselves (in repentance and obedience) before their Lord, they will be dwellers of Paradise to dwell therein forever.

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.

The meaning of {اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَ عَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ … : ’’ اَخْبَتُوْۤا ‘‘ ’’اِخْبَاتٌ‘‘} is to bow, to be humble, to be content. Jamal (may Allah have mercy on him) said: The meaning of { ’’اَخْبَتَ لَهُ‘‘ } is {’’خَشَعَ وَ خَضَعَ لَهُ ‘‘} that he became humble before Him, and the meaning of { ’’ اَخْبَتَ اِلَيْهِ ‘‘ } is {’’اِطْمَئَنَّ اِلَيْهِ‘‘} that he became content with Him. After mentioning the greatest wrongdoers, that is, the disbelievers and polytheists who fabricate lies against Allah, now the believers are mentioned: those who believed and did righteous deeds and became humble before their Lord and were content with His decree and decision, they will be the owners of Paradise. Some attributes of the people of "ikhbat" have appeared in Surah Al-Hajj (34, 35, 54).

Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan — Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf

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.

Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran — Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani

Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran (Facilitation of the Quran) is a comprehensive Quran commentary by Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. 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.

Indeed, those who believed and did righteous deeds [28] and humbled themselves before their Lord—these are the people of Paradise, in which they will abide forever.

[28] The verse that appears in between about the believers and their reward is in accordance with Allah’s practice: wherever the disbelievers and their outcome are mentioned, the believers and their reward are also mentioned, and vice versa.
