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 { اَفَلَا يَعْقِلُوْنَ: } The commentators, in connection with the previous verses, have explained this in two ways: one is that even after witnessing these transformations of life, these people do not understand that for the One who brings about these changes, resurrecting man and establishing the Day of Judgment is not at all difficult; rather, the Hereafter and the recompense of deeds are true. Shah Abdul Qadir writes: “That is, just as the boy was weak, the old man becomes the same; this too is a sign of being created again.” (Muwadhih) The second explanation is that still, do these people not understand that the Lord who gives life and reverses the form in old age is also able, after giving eyes, to take them away, and after granting good appearances, to disfigure them.

The State of Childhood in Old Age:
When a human is born, all his faculties are in a state of development. But when he passes beyond youth, all these faculties begin to decline. Just as in childhood he was dependent on support to walk, so too in old age he becomes dependent. His strength, his courage, his resolve, his intellect—in short, everything declines to such an extent that he becomes like a child. And in this entire process, the human is utterly helpless. Does he still not understand that if We so willed, We could make him blind, cripple him, disfigure him, and whether he wishes or not, We can resurrect him again and punish him for his sins?
