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 { وَ اَضَلُّ سَبِيْلًا:} More astray because in the world there is hope for the misguided to come to the right path, but on the Day of Resurrection there will be no such opportunity.
➌ Here, the mention is of being raised blind, and in other places, their seeing is mentioned, as He said: «وَ رَاَ الْمُجْرِمُوْنَ النَّارَ » [ الکہف : ۵۳ ] "And the criminals will see the Fire." The reconciliation between the two is that during the Day of Resurrection, which is equal to fifty thousand years, various states will pass over the criminals; when they are raised from their graves, they will be blind, dumb, and deaf, and later they will also pass through the stages of seeing, hearing, and speaking. This is the reconciliation of the interpreter of the Qur'an, Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both).

[92] That is, he did not even try to see the path of guidance in the world and remained blind. He will also be blind in the Hereafter and will not be able to see the path to Paradise. His blindness in the world was by choice and could have been corrected. But his blindness in the Hereafter will be involuntary, which will occur as a result of his blindness in the world, and since there will be no way to correct it then, nor will anyone else be able to show him the way, such a person will continue to wander far from Paradise and will see only the various kinds of punishments of Hell before him.
