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 { قُلِ الَّذِيْ فَطَرَكُمْ اَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ :} That is, the One who created you the first time will resurrect you again, because creating something for the first time is difficult and doing it again is easier. So what difficulty is there for Him to give you life again? (See Rum: 19) Whereas for Him, creating the first and second time are equally easy.
➌ {فَسَيُنْغِضُوْنَ۠ اِلَيْكَ رُءُوْسَهُمْ …: ’’ أَنْغَضَ يُنْغِضُ ‘‘} (Af‘aal) means to shake the head in astonishment or mockery, that is, being left speechless, they will ask, “So when will that Resurrection be?” You should tell them that when its coming is certain, your question is pointless. When it is bound to come, no matter how far it may be, consider it near and worry about your salvation. Its example is like that of an unworthy student who knows that the exam is inevitable, but does not accept its occurrence or does not prepare for it just because the date of its occurrence is unknown, or because it is not happening immediately. Obviously, this is utter foolishness.
