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.

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 133) That is, if you do not adopt taqwa, then do not forget that He is also capable of destroying all of you and settling other people in your place, as He said: «{ وَ اِنْ تَتَوَلَّوْا يَسْتَبْدِلْ قَوْمًا غَيْرَكُمْ ثُمَّ لَا يَكُوْنُوْۤا اَمْثَالَكُمْ [ محمد : ۳۸ ] "And if you turn away, He will replace you with another people, then they will not be like you."

Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan is a well-known Quran commentary by Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan.

133. 1. This is an expression of Allah Almighty's overwhelming and perfect power, as stated in another place (وَاِنْ تَتَوَلَّوْا يَسْتَبْدِلْ قَوْمًا غَيْرَكُمْ ۙ ثُمَّ لَا يَكُوْنُوْٓا اَمْثَالَكُمْ) 47:38 If you turn away, He will replace you with others, and they will not be like you.

133. O people! If Allah wills, He can remove you and bring others in your place [176], and Allah is fully capable of that.

[176] And when this phrase is repeated for the third time, its implication is regarding the future conditions of the Muslims, meaning: O Muslims! If you disobey Allah, His affairs are not dependent on you. He has full power to, in such a case, bring forth another nation and, through them, have you defeated and pushed back, just as the Jews, when they became involved in disobedience and wickedness, were defeated and pushed back by the Christians. And now, through your hands, He is having both of them defeated. Allah’s purpose is to elevate His religion, so whoever is capable of continuing Allah’s mission, He will bring them forward. Therefore, your own benefit lies in remaining obedient to Him.
