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 { سَيُرِيْكُمْ اٰيٰتِهٖ فَتَعْرِفُوْنَهَا:} Soon He will show you His signs, and you will recognize them, that yes, these are the very signs which Allah and His Messenger had promised, but recognizing them at that time will not benefit you. This address is to the disbelievers of Makkah; Islamic victories and the remnants of destroyed nations are also included in this, and the signs of the nearness of the Hour also fall under this. See Surah Ha Mim As-Sajdah (53).
➌ { وَ مَا رَبُّكَ بِغَافِلٍ عَمَّا تَعْمَلُوْنَ:} Under this phrase of the verse, Ibn Kathir has mentioned with a strong chain from Ibn Abi Hatim the saying of Umar bin Abdul Aziz, he said: [ فَلَوْ كَانَ اللّٰهُ مُغْفِلًا شَيْئًا لَأَغْفَلَ مَا تَعَفِّي الرِّيَاحُ مِنْ أَثَرِ قَدَمَيِ ابْنِ آدَمَ ] [ ابن کثیر : 219/6 ] “If Allah were to be neglectful of anything, He would surely be neglectful of the footprints of the son of Adam, which the winds erase (but Allah is not neglectful of even these).” The intended meaning is this verse: «{ اِنَّا نَحْنُ نُحْيِ الْمَوْتٰى وَ نَكْتُبُ مَا قَدَّمُوْا وَ اٰثَارَهُمْ }» [ یٰس : ۱۲ ] “Indeed, We give life to the dead and We record what they have sent ahead and their traces they left behind.” And Ibn Kathir has narrated regarding Imam Ahmad, may Allah have mercy on him, that he used to recite these two verses of poetry, which are either his or someone else’s:
{إِذَا مَا خَلَوْتَ الدَّهْرَ يَوْمًا فَلاَ تَقُلْ ¤ خَلَوْتُ وَلٰكِنْ قُلْ عَلَيَّ رَقِيْبُ ¤ وَ لَا تَحْسَبَنَّ اللّٰهَ يَغْفُلُ سَاعَةً ¤ وَ لَا أَنَّ مَا يَخْفٰي عَلَيْهِ يَغِيْبُ}
“That is, whenever you are alone at any time, do not say, ‘I am alone,’ rather say, ‘There is a mighty Watcher over me,’ and never assume that Allah is ever neglectful even for a moment, nor that anything hidden is outside His knowledge.”
Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan — Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf
Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan is a well-known Quran commentary by Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. This tafsir explains the meanings of the Quran in accordance with the methodology of the Salaf (early righteous generations), relying on authentic sources and straightforward language. 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. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.
93-2 We will show them Our signs in the horizons and within themselves so that the truth becomes clear to them. If they do not believe after seeing these signs in their lifetime, then at the time of death, they will surely recognize these signs. But the recognition at that time does not benefit, because at that time faith is not accepted.
93-2 Rather, He is watching everything. In this, there is a severe warning and a great threat for the disbelievers.
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.
[103] That is, such signs by which you will clearly know that the things I used to say were indeed true and correct. That is, Allah Almighty will disgrace you in this world and will support the Muslims in every difficult time and will help them. And despite your utmost hostile efforts, Islam will remain exalted. At that time, you will fully recognize that the promises made to you were also true, this Quran was also true and right, and I am indeed the Messenger of Allah. And without accepting all this, there will be no other way left for you. Thus, at the conquest of Makkah and then after the declaration of Bara’ah, these realities became clear to all the disbelievers and polytheists, and there remained no other way for them except to accept faith.
