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 51) ➊ {وَ لَوْ تَرٰۤى اِذْ فَزِعُوْا فَلَا فَوْتَ : ’’ اِذْ فَزِعُوْا ‘‘} (“when they will be terrified”) refers to all the stages of the Hereafter after this world, which include the arrival of angels at the time of death, then questioning and answering in the grave, then coming out of the graves and being presented before Allah Almighty, then entering Hell—all of this is included. That is, now the disbelievers boast a lot, but when the respite of this world ends, Allah Almighty’s grip will come, and terror will overcome them, at that time there will be no way for them to escape from it.
➋ { وَ اُخِذُوْا مِنْ مَّكَانٍ قَرِيْبٍ :} That is, such criminals will not have to be searched for from afar; wherever they are, they will be seized right there. There will be no way to escape or to run away.

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.

51. 1. فَلَافَوْتَ Nowhere will they be able to escape? Because they will be in Allah's grasp, this is a description of the field of resurrection.

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.

If only you could see when they will be terrified, but there will be no escape for them, and they will be seized from a place very near [76].

[76] That is, such criminals will not have to be searched for from afar. Rather, wherever they are, they will be apprehended right there; they will not have the courage to run away anywhere.
