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 { فَقُلْ يَنْسِفُهَا رَبِّيْ نَسْفًا … :} With the mention of the blowing of the trumpet, the establishment of the Day of Judgment, and the gathering of all people, a question was about to arise from the deniers of the Resurrection; Allah Almighty gave its answer beforehand, that in their view, such lofty and strong mountains cannot be moved from their place by anyone, so they will ask: what will happen to these mountains? Allah Almighty said: if these people ask, then say to them that my Lord will blow them away and scatter them. The emphasis of {’’ يَنْسِفُهَا ‘‘} is with {’’ نَسْفًا ‘‘}, so that no one thinks that {’’يَنْسِفُ‘‘} is not in its original meaning but metaphorical. That is, in reality, Allah Almighty will break them into pieces and scatter them. For details of the states that will pass over the mountains, see the commentary of Surah Naba (20). {’’ قَاعًا ‘‘} means plain. {’’ صَفْصَفًا ‘‘} means level.

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.
[74] That is, even if humans and other living things die at the first blowing of the Trumpet, what effect will this blowing have on something as solid as the mountains? In reality, such a question can only come from those ignorant people who have never reflected on this created universe of Allah and its system. For today's human being, this is a completely meaningless question. If there is even a slight disturbance in the movement of the planets and their gravitational pull, let alone the mountains, all the stars could collide and shatter into pieces. This is what will happen on the Day of Resurrection, and at that time, the dust of the mountains will be flying.
