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 { مِنْ حَوْلِ الْعَرْشِ:} Here is a question: it would have been sufficient to say {’’حَافِّيْنَ حَوْلَ الْعَرْشِ‘‘} that they will be surrounding the Throne, so what was the need to bring the word {’’ مِنْ ‘‘}? Some commentators have answered that this {’’ مِنْ ‘‘ } is extra. Al-Biqa'i said that this {’’ مِنْ ‘‘ } is for partition, meaning that no matter how many angels there are, the Throne is such a great creation of Allah Almighty that even if all the angels gather, they will only be able to surround some parts of its circumference.
➌ { وَ قُضِيَ بَيْنَهُمْ بِالْحَقِّ:} That is, in such a majestic and awe-inspiring environment, Allah Almighty will judge between the people with truth.
➍ {وَ قِيْلَ الْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ رَبِّ الْعٰلَمِيْنَ:} That is, the conclusion of the people's judgment will be upon the praise of Allah, Lord of the worlds. Because of the generality of those who praise, in {’’ قِيْلَ ‘‘} (it will be said), the one who says it is not mentioned. The meaning is that when the judgment is completed, every particle of the universe will praise Allah, Lord of the worlds, for these entirely just and merciful judgments, and from every side the voice will be heard: « اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ رَبِّ الْعٰلَمِيْنَ» "All praise is for Allah, Lord of all the worlds." Al-Tabari has mentioned with an authentic chain the statement of Qatadah, who said: "The beginning of the creation of the creatures is also with praise, as He said: « اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ الَّذِيْ خَلَقَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الْاَرْضَ وَ جَعَلَ الظُّلُمٰتِ وَ النُّوْرَ » [ الأنعام : ۱ ] 'All praise is for Allah, who created the heavens and the earth and made the darkness and the light.' And the end of the creation is also with praise, He said: « وَ قُضِيَ بَيْنَهُمْ بِالْحَقِّ وَ قِيْلَ الْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ رَبِّ الْعٰلَمِيْنَ » [ الزمر : ۷۵ ] 'And it will be judged between them with truth, and it will be said: All praise is for Allah, Lord of all the worlds.'" (Tabari) For us, the lesson in this is that at the end of every task, there should be praise and glorification of Allah Almighty, as has been said about the people of Paradise: « دَعْوٰىهُمْ فِيْهَا سُبْحٰنَكَ اللّٰهُمَّ وَ تَحِيَّتُهُمْ فِيْهَا سَلٰمٌ وَ اٰخِرُ دَعْوٰىهُمْ اَنِ الْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ رَبِّ الْعٰلَمِيْنَ» [ یونس : ۱۰ ] "Their call therein will be, 'Exalted are You, O Allah!' and their greeting therein will be, 'Peace.' And the conclusion of their call will be, 'All praise is for Allah, Lord of all the worlds.'" For more about praise, see the commentary of Surah Al-Fatihah.

The Cries of ﴿الحمد لله﴾ to the Lord of the Worlds When the Court is Dismissed:
That is, on the day when Allah Almighty will descend in majesty to judge between the people in the field of resurrection, at that time the angels will surround the Throne of Allah Almighty from all sides. And when Allah Almighty has judged between the people with justice before all witnesses, then from every side, the slogan of ﴿ألْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِيْنَ﴾ will be raised with great enthusiasm. Upon this slogan of praise, the court of Allah Almighty will be dismissed. Then all people will be sent to their abodes according to their judgment. It should be noted that this day will be, according to the current reckoning of day and night, fifty thousand years long.
