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 62) {وَ لَا يَصُدَّنَّكُمُ الشَّيْطٰنُ …:} That is, beware lest Satan, with his tricks, prevent you from believing in the Resurrection, because he is your open enemy. He has never hidden his enmity; rather, he openly declared that he would continue to mislead Adam (peace be upon him) and his progeny, so you too should consider him an enemy and remain cautious of him. (See Fatir: 6; Kahf: 50) It is clear that whoever doubts the Resurrection has fallen prey to Satan. One of Satan’s greatest enmities and misguidances is that he deprives a person of certainty in the Resurrection. The way to protect oneself from Satan is that a person should continue to follow the guidance given by Allah Almighty, without paying any attention elsewhere. In the first revelation to Musa (peace be upon him), along with informing him about the coming of the Resurrection, Allah Almighty also emphasized that beware, those who do not believe in it should not prevent you from believing in it, otherwise the outcome will be destruction. See Surah Ta-Ha (15, 16).

62. Do not let Satan turn you away from this path [61]; he is indeed your open enemy.

[61] That is, whoever doubts the coming of the Hour should understand that he has fallen into the clutches of Satan. And he should also understand that Satan’s greatest enmity and the greatest misguidance is that a person begins to doubt the Hour. And the only way to be safe from Satan is that a person continues to follow the guidance given by Allah straight ahead, without turning here and there at all.
