O mankind! Verily, there has come to you the Messenger (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) with the truth from your Lord. So believe in him, it is better for you. But if you disbelieve, then certainly to Allâh belongs all that is in the heavens and the earth. And Allâh is Ever All-Knowing, All-Wise.

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 170) {يٰۤاَيُّهَا النَّاسُ قَدْ جَآءَكُمُ الرَّسُوْلُ بِالْحَقِّ ……:} After refuting the objections and doubts of the Jews in various ways and establishing the truth of the Qur’an, now all people, including the Jews, are being invited to believe in the Prophethood of the Prophet (peace be upon him) and the Qur’an. Since this Messenger is true and the Qur’an is also the true Book of Allah, it is obligatory for you to accept this invitation; it is in your best interest and better for your ultimate end. Otherwise, remember that Allah is the Owner of all the creatures in the heavens and the earth; nothing of His is diminished by your not believing. See Surah Ibrahim (8).

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

The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.

170. 1. That is, what harm will your disbelief cause to Allah, just as Musa said to his people (اِنْ تَكْفُرُوْٓا اَنْتُمْ وَمَنْ فِي الْاَرْضِ جَمِيْعًا ۙ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَغَنِيٌّ حَمِيْدٌ) 14:8 (Ibrahim. 8): If you and all those who dwell on the earth together choose the path of disbelief, what harm will you cause to Allah? Surely, Allah is indeed free of need, Praiseworthy. And in the Hadith Qudsi, Allah says: 'O My servants! If the first and last of you, all humans and jinn, become like the heart of the most righteous man among you, that will not increase My kingdom in the least. And if the first and last of you, all humans and jinn, become like the heart of the most disobedient man among you, that will not decrease My kingdom in the least. O My servants! If all of you gather in one plain and ask Me, and I give every person what he asks for, that will not decrease what I have any more than a needle decreases the water of the sea when it is dipped into it and taken out.' (Sahih Muslim, Book of Birr, Chapter: Prohibition of Oppression)

170. O people! The Messenger has come to you from your Lord with the religion of truth [223]. So it is better for you to believe. But if you disbelieve, then (know that) whatever is in the heavens and the earth belongs to Allah alone, and Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.

[223] That is, the proof from Allah has been completed against you, and on the Day of Resurrection you will have no excuse to present, and all testimonies will go against you. Therefore, it is better that you take heed in time and, by believing in the Messenger and in the signs of Allah, improve your life in the Hereafter. Otherwise, on that Day, you will never be able to escape Allah’s grasp and His punishment. He is the One who has complete control and authority over everything in the universe. He knows all your mischiefs as well, and He also knows how to deal with those who violate His commands.
