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.

(Ayah 39) ➊ By {وَ اسْتَكْبَرَ هُوَ وَ جُنُوْدُهٗ فِي الْاَرْضِ: ’’ الْاَرْضِ ‘‘} is meant the land of Egypt. That is, the right to greatness belongs only to Allah, Lord of all the worlds, but these people, having gained power in a small country, began to think that only they are great.
➋ {وَ ظَنُّوْۤا اَنَّهُمْ اِلَيْنَا لَا يُرْجَعُوْنَ:} That is, after attaining temporary power, they thought that there is no being above them before whom they have to appear after death, so they have free rein to do whatever they want and to spread whatever corruption they wish in the land.

And Pharaoh and his armies behaved arrogantly in the land without right, and they thought they would not be returned to Us.

[51] Allah granted them power over a small portion of the earth for a few days, so they began to think that there was no being above them who could take this power away from them. Nor did it ever occur to them that after death, they would have to present themselves before Allah and be questioned about every single deed.
