(It is) a Promise of Allâh (i.e. Allâh will give victory to the Romans against the Persians), and Allâh fails not in His Promise, but most of men know not.

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 6) ➊ { وَعْدَ اللّٰهِ لَا يُخْلِفُ اللّٰهُ وَعْدَهٗ :} That is, the overcoming of Persia by Rome within a few years is the promise of Allah, whose way is that He never goes against His promise.
➋ { وَ لٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُوْنَ :} But most people, including the disbelievers of Quraysh, do not know this; rather, when Allah does something that seems impossible according to apparent means, they begin to call Allah’s promise false. They do not know that besides apparent means, there are countless hidden means that are working behind the scenes, nor do they know that all apparent and hidden means are in the hand of Allah. Whatever He intends to do, He can create its means if He wills, or He can fulfill it without any means at all.
