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 { ثُمَّ اِذَا دَعَاكُمْ دَعْوَةً… :} Then do not think that this system is permanent or eternal, or that whoever has died will remain dead forever. No, rather ({ثُمَّ}) a time is coming when, in your state of being buried in the earth, He will call you with a single call, and you will suddenly come out of the earth. What is meant by this is the second blowing of the trumpet, as He said: «{ ثُمَّ نُفِخَ فِيْهِ اُخْرٰى فَاِذَا هُمْ قِيَامٌ يَّنْظُرُوْنَ }» [ الزمر : ۶۸ ] "Then it will be blown into it a second time, and suddenly they will be standing, looking on." For similar verses, see Bani Isra'il (52), Ya-Sin (53), and Nazi'at (13, 14).

The Necessity of the Being Who Controls the Movement of the Stars:
Wherever Allah Almighty mentions the heavens and the earth, it refers to the system of the universe, in which countless celestial bodies are in motion. According to the current theory, our earth, the moon, and many other planets are revolving around the sun. It is generally understood that the gravitational pull of each planet holds it in a specific position. But the matter is not that simple. In our solar system, the sun is the largest star. Therefore, its gravitational pull or attractive force is so great that it could pull every planet towards itself. But this does not happen. Therefore, it is necessary that there exists such an authoritative and omnipotent Being who, despite the pull of gravity, keeps these planets established in their respective orbits. No physical cause can be explained that has bound all the planets in the open space so that they all continue to revolve around the sun in always determined orbits and also move in a particular manner in which there is never any deviation. Then, considering the movements of the planets and the degrees of their speed, and the distances between them and the sun, the precise proportion and deep balance that has been maintained—there is no physical cause that could connect these organized and coordinated planets. One is compelled to admit that this entire system is under the control of such a powerful, wise, and knowledgeable Being who is fully aware of the materials of all these celestial bodies and their nature. He knows how much gravitational force will be produced from what quantity of any material. With His powerful estimation, He has determined various distances and different degrees of movement between the planets and the sun so that there is no collision or interference between them and the whole universe does not crash and get destroyed.
[24] At this point, Allah Almighty has described the blowing of Israfil’s trumpet as His call. That is, all the humans who have died or will die until the Day of Resurrection, all will, at Allah’s single call, rise alive from their graves and set out towards the field of gathering.
