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.

(Ayah 35) {وَ يَعْلَمَ الَّذِيْنَ يُجَادِلُوْنَ فِيْۤ اٰيٰتِنَا … :} Here the question is why {’’ يَعْلَمَ ‘‘} is in the accusative case and to what is it being conjoined with the "waw" (and)? The answer is that this sentence is being conjoined to an omitted sentence in which the reason is mentioned as to why the winds are sometimes favorable for ships, sometimes extremely adverse, and sometimes still; and the accusative case of {’’ يَعْلَمَ ‘‘} is due to {’’لَامِ كَيْ‘‘}, after which {’’أَنْ‘‘} the subjunctive particle is implied. Thus, the entire phrase is as follows: {’’ اَللّٰهُ فَعَلَ ذٰلِكَ لِيَعْتَبِرَ الْمُؤْمِنُوْنَ وَ لِيَعْلَمَ الَّذِيْنَ يُجَادِلُوْنَ فِيْ آيَاتِنَا ‘‘} That is, Allah Almighty mentioned the matter of ships and winds so that the believers may take heed from it, and those who dispute Our signs to deny them may know that there is no place for them to escape from Allah. Perhaps after knowing this, they may come to believe in Allah’s signs. Some commentators have mentioned different words for the omitted sentence, but the purpose of all is the same: that in {’’ وَ يَعْلَمَ الَّذِيْنَ يُجَادِلُوْنَ فِيْۤ اٰيٰتِنَا ‘‘} the reason for the previous matters is being stated. There are several examples in the Qur’an of omitting the causative sentence, as He said: «وَ لِنَجْعَلَهٗۤ اٰيَةً لِّلنَّاسِ » [ مریم : ۲۱ ] “And so that We may make him a very great sign for the people.” And as He said: «وَ خَلَقَ اللّٰهُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الْاَرْضَ بِالْحَقِّ وَ لِتُجْزٰى كُلُّ نَفْسٍۭ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ » [ الجاثیۃ : ۲۲ ] “And Allah created the heavens and the earth in truth, and so that every soul may be recompensed for what it has earned.”

35. And so that those who dispute about Our signs [50] may know that they have no place of refuge.

[50] That is, those deniers who dispute the signs of Allah may face such a calamity even in this world that they find no refuge anywhere, as, for example, during a sea voyage. In the Hereafter, these people will be even more helpless and powerless.
