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 لَا مُبَدِّلَ لِكَلِمٰتِ اللّٰهِ:} {’’ لِكَلِمٰتِ اللّٰهِ ‘‘} means that the promise Allah has made to help you, to make you prevail and to subdue the disbelievers, such as: «اِنَّا لَنَنْصُرُ رُسُلَنَا وَ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا فِي الْحَيٰوةِ الدُّنْيَا وَ يَوْمَ يَقُوْمُ الْاَشْهَادُ» [المؤمن : ۵۱ ] "Indeed, We will surely help Our messengers and those who believe in the life of this world and on the Day when the witnesses will stand." And He said: «كَتَبَ اللّٰهُ لَاَغْلِبَنَّ اَنَا وَ رُسُلِيْ» [ المجادلۃ : ۲۱ ] "Allah has decreed: 'Surely, I will prevail, I and My messengers.'" And He said: «هُوَ الَّذِيْۤ اَرْسَلَ رَسُوْلَهٗ بِالْهُدٰى وَ دِيْنِ الْحَقِّ لِيُظْهِرَهٗ عَلَى الدِّيْنِ كُلِّهٖ» [ الفتح : ۲۸ ] "He it is Who sent His Messenger with guidance and the religion of truth, that He may make it prevail over all religions." So this promise will be fulfilled in every case, therefore you should be assured that no one can change Allah's words. Just as they demonstrated patience and steadfastness, you too should continue to present your message with patience and steadfastness, and do not let any anxiety find a way into yourself. Surely, you too will be helped and supported in the same way.

What are Allah’s Ways or Laws for Making the Truth Prevail?
By “words” here is meant those laws or established ways of Allah that come into play in the battle between truth and falsehood. What happens is that whenever a Prophet or Messenger begins his mission, people from all sides rise up in opposition to him. Then, among them, some people of sound nature and noble character believe in the Prophet and support him. Now, this group of believers and the Prophet himself become targets of the opponents’ oppression and violence, enduring hardships and remaining steadfast and patient. Gradually, their numbers continue to increase. Then comes a time when these oppressed people, despite being relatively weak, gird themselves to confront falsehood. This is the moment when Allah’s help comes to them—never before this. It is never Allah’s law to make the truth prevail over falsehood by creating miraculous circumstances on His own, without first testing the believers and making them pass through difficulties and trials. These are such laws that no one can change. As you have already learned from the stories of previous Messengers.
