Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali

So that Allâh will punish the hypocrites, men and women, and the men and women who are Al-Mushrikûn (polytheists, idolaters, pagans, disbelievers, in the Oneness of Allâh, and His Messenger Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم). And Allâh will pardon (accept the repentance of) the true believers of the Islâmic Monotheism, men and women. And Allâh is Ever Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

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 73) {لِيُعَذِّبَ اللّٰهُ الْمُنٰفِقِيْنَ …:} In this verse, the consequence of mankind taking on the responsibility of the trust is mentioned. The surah begins with the command, "O Prophet! Fear Allah and do not obey the disbelievers and hypocrites." Then, in the middle of the surah, the betrayals of the hypocrites and their breaking of all covenants made with Allah and the Muslims are mentioned. At the end of the surah, the importance of trust, the punishment for hypocrites and polytheists who betray it, and the reward for the believers who fulfill the right of the trust are mentioned. Some explanation of this has already been covered in the benefit (3) of the previous verse in the words of Shah Abdul Qadir.

73. 1. Its connection is with حَمَلَھَا, that is, the purpose of making man responsible for this trust is so that the hypocrisy and polytheism of the hypocrites and polytheists, and the faith of the believers, may become manifest, and then they may be rewarded or punished accordingly.

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.

(The inevitable result was) that Allah may punish the hypocrite men and women, and the polytheist men and women, and turn in mercy [112] to the believing men and women. And Allah is Most Forgiving, Most Merciful.

[112] The inevitable result of granting man the power of will and choice could have been that some people would misuse this choice, while others would use it correctly. Then, since man also proved to be unjust and ignorant, therefore, those who misuse this will and choice turned out to be far more numerous, and those who used it correctly were very few in comparison. And the second result was that those who misused it—namely the polytheists, disbelievers, and hypocrites—would be punished for their deeds, and those who, feeling the weight of this responsibility, shaped their way of life according to Allah’s will, would be given a good reward for it.
