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.

(Ayah43){’’ مُهْطِعِيْنَ ‘‘} Swift runners. {’’ أَهْطَعَ يُهْطِعُ ‘‘} (Af‘aal) means to run swiftly. This word is also used in Surah Qamar (8) and Surah Ma‘aarij (36) in the same meaning, that is, coming out of the graves, they will be running swiftly towards the sound of the Trumpet in such a way that their heads will be raised upwards and their eyes will be open, staring fixedly. { ’’ مُقْنِعِيْ ‘‘} This word is originally a masculine active participle from the Baab If‘aal {’’مُقْنِعِيْنَ‘‘ }, and by being annexed to {’’ رُءُوْسِهِمْ ‘‘}, the noon was dropped; its meaning is to raise the head upwards without looking right or left. Some have also taken its meaning as to lower the head. (Tantawi) {’’ أَفْئِدَةٌ ‘‘ ’’ فُؤَادٌ ‘‘} is the plural, meaning hearts. { ’’هَوَآءٌ‘‘ } means empty, that is, their hearts will be empty of understanding due to anxiety.

The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.

43. 1. مُهْطِعِينَ — running swiftly. In another place it is said, مُهْطِعِينَ إِلَى الدَّاعِ (Al-Qamar), they will run towards the caller and their heads will be raised in astonishment.

43. 2. The terrors they will witness and the anxiety and fear they will have about themselves, in view of these, their eyes will not lower even for a moment and due to the intensity of fear, their hearts will be fallen and empty.
