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 { وَ مَاۤ اَنْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ بِجَبَّارٍ:} That is, your task is not to force them to become Muslims; your task is only to convey the message, as He said: « اِنَّمَاۤ اَنْتَ مُذَكِّرٌ (21) لَسْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ بِمُصَۜيْطِرٍ» [ الغاشیۃ : 22،21 ] "So you are only a reminder. You are not at all a controller over them."
➌ {فَذَكِّرْ بِالْقُرْاٰنِ مَنْ يَّخَافُ وَعِيْدِ: ’’ وَعِيْدِ ‘‘} Originally it is {’’وَعِيْدِيْ‘‘}, My warning. This does not mean that you should not advise others, rather it means that only he will benefit from your advice who fears My warning, as He said: « اِنَّمَا تُنْذِرُ الَّذِيْنَ يَخْشَوْنَ رَبَّهُمْ بِالْغَيْبِ وَ اَقَامُوا الصَّلٰوةَ » [ فاطر : ۱۸ ] "So you only warn those who fear their Lord unseen and establish prayer."

45. 2. That is, only the one who fears Allah and His warnings of punishment and believes in His promises will take admonition from your ﷺ message of remembrance.

[52] In this sentence, there is both comfort for you ﷺ and a warning and threat for the disbelievers of Makkah.
[53] That is, it is not your ﷺ responsibility to force anyone to believe through compulsion and coercion. Your ﷺ duty is only to keep admonishing people by reciting this Quran to them; then, whoever has even a little fear of Allah in his heart will surely accept this admonition, and as for those who are not even willing to listen to the Quran, their matter is left to Allah, and you ﷺ have no responsibility regarding them.
