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.
➋ { وَ يَقْذِفُوْنَ بِالْغَيْبِ مِنْ مَّكَانٍۭ بَعِيْدٍ :} "Unseen" means without seeing. If a stone or arrow is thrown from a distance, and then thrown at a target that is not even seen, how can that stone or arrow reach the target? That is, these people persisted in denying the oneness of Allah Almighty, His Messenger, and the Hereafter in the world, and without knowing anything about them, kept making various statements—sometimes mocking the Messenger, calling him mad, a sorcerer, a liar; sometimes taunting the believers; sometimes declaring life after death impossible. In short, they kept uttering whatever came to their mouths with boldness and fearlessness, and they themselves admitted that whatever they were saying was based on conjecture, as He said: « اِنْ نَّظُنُّ اِلَّا ظَنًّا وَّ مَا نَحْنُ بِمُسْتَيْقِنِيْنَ» [ الجاثیۃ : ۳۲ ] "We only have a slight conjecture, and we are by no means certain." The reality is that no one adopts the beliefs of polytheism, atheism, and denial of the Hereafter based on certainty, nor can they. The entire structure of disbelief is based solely on assumption and conjecture, not on knowledge and certainty.

Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran — Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani

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.
[78] That is, when the matters of the Hereafter were mentioned to them in the world, instead of reflecting on them, they would attribute it to madness. Sometimes they would label the caller to the truth as a fabricator against Allah. Sometimes they would say that some non-Arab teaches him. Sometimes they would taunt him as a sorcerer, soothsayer, or poet. These blind-hearted people could see very far in the darkness of ignorance. But they never even considered reflecting with sincerity.
