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 6) ➊ {يَوْمَ يَبْعَثُهُمُ اللّٰهُ جَمِيْعًا …:} This is connected to the last sentence of the previous verse {’’ وَ لِلْكٰفِرِيْنَ عَذَابٌ مُّهِيْنٌ ‘‘}, meaning that for these disbelievers, there will also be a humiliating punishment on the Day when Allah will gather them all together, then He will inform them of what they used to do, so that they may be prepared to face its consequences.

{ اَحْصٰىهُ اللّٰهُ وَ نَسُوْهُ :} This is the answer to the question that even if, after thousands or millions of years, all people are brought back to life, whatever they did would have passed ages ago, so how will Allah inform them of the countless deeds of countless creatures? It is said that although they have surely forgotten what they did, Allah has preserved all of it. See also the commentary of Surah Al-Kahf (18:49).

{ وَ اللّٰهُ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ شَهِيْدٌ:} Because nothing can be hidden from Allah, He is observing everything. (See Al-Ma'idah: 117; An-Najm: 17) The next verse further emphasizes this.

Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan is a well-known Quran commentary by Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. This tafsir explains the meanings of the Quran in accordance with the methodology of the Salaf (early righteous generations), relying on authentic sources and straightforward language. Due to its reliability and adherence to sound Islamic scholarship, the Saudi government publishes and distributes this tafsir among the Hujjaj (pilgrims) visiting the Haramain. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.

6.1 This is the answer to the objection that arises in minds: the abundance and diversity of sins is such that their enumeration apparently seems impossible. Allah Almighty said: it is certainly impossible for you; in fact, you will not even remember all the deeds you have done yourself. But for Allah, this is not difficult at all—He has preserved the deed of each and every one.

6.2 Nothing is hidden from Him. Further ahead, this is emphasized even more: He knows everything.

Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran (Facilitation of the Quran) is a comprehensive Quran commentary by Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. Known for his eloquent and accessible writing style, Kilani authored this tafsir with a focus on clarity — making Quranic meanings understandable to the common reader. The tafsir provides detailed historical context for verses related to battles and expeditions, and firmly refutes modernist ideologies using strong scriptural evidence. It is widely regarded as an invaluable resource for understanding the Quran and countering deviant interpretations. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.

On the Day when Allah will resurrect them all and inform them of what they did. Allah has kept a full account of it, while they have forgotten it [7]. And Allah is Witness over all things.

[7] In this world, a person commits countless sinful acts to which he gives no importance; therefore, he does not even remember them. But Allah and His angels are preparing such a complete record of every person in which not even the smallest misdeed can be left unrecorded. On the Day of Resurrection, this very record will be placed before him. Then he will begin to remember all those misdeeds which had been completely erased from his heart and mind.
