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 4){ لِيَجْزِيَ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَ عَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ … :} In these verses, the purpose of the Resurrection and its wisdom have been stated, that is, the Resurrection will be established so that Allah, the Exalted, may reward those who have faith and do righteous deeds, because in the limited duration of this world, neither do the righteous receive their full reward, nor do the wicked receive their full punishment. Now, if there is no day of reward and punishment at all, then it would mean that the righteous and the wicked are equal, whereas this is against reason. See Surah Sad (28), Sajdah (18 to 20), and Hashr (20), and it is also against the justice of Allah, the Exalted. (See Anbiya: 47) Rather, it would be oppression upon those who were oppressed in the world, whereas Allah, the Exalted, does not tolerate even the slightest injustice towards His servants, as He said: «{ وَ مَا رَبُّكَ بِظَلَّامٍ لِّلْعَبِيْدِ }» [ حٰمٓ السجدۃ : ۴۶ ] "And your Lord is never unjust to His servants." Now, what kind of master is he whose slaves, some obey him and some do not, and he treats all of them equally, and among his slaves, some oppress others and he does not even question the oppressor? Then, when a human being does not tolerate this among his own slaves, how can such a thought be entertained about the King of kings, the Owner of all owners? The tanween on {’’ مَغْفِرَةٌ ‘‘} is for magnification, and by { ’’ رِزْقٌ كَرِيْمٌ ‘‘} is meant the blessings of Paradise. See Surah Sajdah (17).

Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan — Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf

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.

4. 1. This is the reason for the occurrence of the Day of Judgment, meaning it will be established for this purpose, and Allah Almighty will resurrect all humans again so that He may reward the righteous for their good deeds, because He has designated this day specifically for recompense. If there were no Day of Recompense, then it would mean that the righteous and the wicked are equal, and this is absolutely contrary to justice and fairness, and would be oppression upon the servants, especially the righteous. (وَمَا رَبُّكَ بِظَلَّامٍ لِّـلْعَبِيْدِ) 41. Fussilat:46)

Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran — Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani

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.

(And the Hour will come) so that Allah may reward those who believe and do righteous deeds. For such people there will be forgiveness [7] and an honorable provision.

[7] This is a rational argument for the Day of Judgment or the life of the Hereafter. In this world, there are countless individuals who, after embracing faith, made numerous sacrifices of life and wealth in the path of truth, and spent their entire lives enduring poverty, hardship, and oppression at the hands of the disbelievers. Is it not the demand of justice that they be rewarded for their deeds? And that they be granted rewards in exchange for their sufferings? Therefore, it is necessary that Allah grant humans another life in which every person is recompensed according to their deeds.
