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 25) ➊ { اِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ يَفْصِلُ بَيْنَهُمْ …:} In the previous verse, there is mention of the time when the Children of Israel acted upon the Book of Allah, their scholars and leaders themselves remained steadfast on the religion, continued to fulfill the duty of enjoining good and forbidding evil, and in this path, they endured the harm from their own people and strangers with patience. Later, when they became engrossed in worldliness and greed, knowingly and deliberately, instead of acting upon the Book of Allah, they began to interpret it according to their own desires, and even altered it. Each one invented rulings according to his own wishes, so they split into various groups. Every sect declared itself to be true, so Allah Almighty said that regarding these differences, your Lord alone will decide on the Day of Resurrection.

➋ In the conditions and events of the Children of Israel, there is a lesson for the Muslim Ummah as to which people attain the status of leadership and what causes the rise and fall of any nation.

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.

25-1. By this, the disagreement meant is that which existed among the People of the Book themselves; incidentally, it also includes those disagreements which have existed and still exist in the world between the believers and the disbelievers, the people of truth and the people of falsehood. In the world, every group remains satisfied with its own arguments and steadfast on its own path. Therefore, the decision regarding these disagreements will be made by Allah Almighty on the Day of Resurrection. This means that the people of truth will be admitted to Paradise, and the disbelievers and people of falsehood will be admitted to Hell.

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.

25. Surely, your Lord will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection regarding the matters in which they used to differ [27].

The Outcome of Sectarianism: Prejudice and Humiliation:

The existence of disagreement in the fundamentals of religion arises from worldly interests and the desire to become a leader and raise one's own flag separately. The inevitable result of this approach is discord within the Ummah and humiliation and disgrace in the world. This is exactly what the Jews suffered as a result of their disagreements, and the same is happening to Muslims today. Then, once a sect is formed, such sectarian prejudice develops within it that it absolutely refuses to change its ways. It considers all other sects to be misguided, but never even entertains the thought that it itself could be misguided. In other words, no sect in the world is willing to admit its own mistake. However, it is Allah alone who will decide among them as to which sect possessed what portion of the truth and what portion of falsehood. Out of all of them, such-and-such sect was upon the truth and the rest were misguided. Due to people's prejudice, this issue remains unsolved in the world, no matter how much humiliation and disgrace the Ummah faces.
