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 {مِنْ قَبْلِ اَنْ يَّاْتِيَ يَوْمٌ لَّا مَرَدَّ لَهٗ مِنَ اللّٰهِ : ’’ مَرَدَّ ‘‘ ’’رَدَّ يَرُدُّ‘‘} is a verbal noun (masdar mimi), meaning to remove, to turn away. That is, before that day comes, turn your direction straight towards the upright religion whose occurrence Allah Almighty has decreed, and there is no way for it to be averted from Allah, so how can anyone else avert it?
➌ {يَوْمَىِٕذٍ يَّصَّدَّعُوْنَ : ’’ يَصَّدَّعُوْنَ ‘‘} is originally {’’يَتَصَدَّعُوْنَ‘‘}, meaning "they will be split apart," that is, on the Day of Resurrection, Muslims and disbelievers will be separated all at once just as something splits and becomes separate. It will not happen that any disbeliever remains among the Muslims or any Muslim among the disbelievers. Allah said: «{ فَرِيْقٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَ فَرِيْقٌ فِي السَّعِيْرِ }» [ الشورٰی : ۷ ] "One group will be in Paradise and one group in the blazing Fire."

[50] Therefore, O Prophet! And O Muslims! Turn away from all these absurdities of the polytheists and turn towards the religion of nature. Because the root of all kinds of evils and corruption is this very shirk. And its remedy is only that you focus all your attention towards Allah and place your trust in Him alone.
[51] That is, just as death is an inevitable reality and no one can avert it from himself, nor can its time be advanced or delayed, in the same way, the Day of Resurrection is also an inevitable reality which cannot be averted by anyone, nor can anyone avert it from himself, nor is any advancement or delay possible in it. And the connection between these two realities is that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ has said that whoever dies, his Resurrection has been established on that very day. [مشكوة كتاب الفتن۔ باب فى قرب الساعة وان من مات فقد قامت قيامة]
In other words, the meaning of this verse is that before your death, completely renounce polytheistic beliefs and turn towards the religion of nature.
[52] That is, no disbeliever will have the ability to join the group of Muslims, or if he has joined before, he will not remain there; rather, all people will be compelled to immediately join the group to which they belong. And this will happen with such speed as if a gathered crowd suddenly splits into many parts.
