وَٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا۟ بِـَٔايَـٰتِنَا صُمٌّ وَبُكْمٌ فِى ٱلظُّلُمَـٰتِ ۗ مَن يَشَإِ ٱللَّهُ يُضْلِلْهُ وَمَن يَشَأْ يَجْعَلْهُ عَلَىٰ صِرَٰطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ ﴿39﴾

Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali

Those who reject Our Ayât (proofs, evidence, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) are deaf and dumb in the darkness. Allâh sends astray whom He wills and He guides on the Straight Path whom He wills.

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 39) ➊ {وَ الَّذِيْنَ كَذَّبُوْا بِاٰيٰتِنَا …:} That is, those who deny Our signs neither listen to the truth nor do truthful words come from their tongues, therefore they are deaf and dumb and are trapped in the darkness of disbelief, polytheism, and wrongful desires of the self. The same point is mentioned in Surah Al-Baqarah (17, 18) and Surah An-Nur (40).
➋ {مَنْ يَّشَاِ اللّٰهُ يُضْلِلْهُ … :} But He only leads astray those who do not use their abilities properly. See Surah Al-Baqarah (26, 27) and Surah Al-A'raf (176), and He guides only those who, using their abilities properly, turn towards Him. See Surah Ash-Shura (13).

Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan — Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf

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.

39. 1. Those who deny the signs of Allah, since they do not listen to the truth with their ears nor speak the truth with their tongues, are just like the mute and the deaf. Moreover, they are also surrounded by the darkness of disbelief and misguidance. Therefore, they cannot see anything that could lead to their correction. Thus, it is as if their senses have been taken away, from which they cannot benefit in any way. Then it is said that all authority is in the hands of Allah; He misguides whom He wills and guides whom He wills to the straight path. But His decision does not happen arbitrarily; rather, it is according to the demands of justice and fairness. He misguides only the one who is already entangled in misguidance, who neither strives to come out of it nor desires to come out of it. See also the footnote of Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 26.

Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran — Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani

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.

39. And those who deny Our signs are deaf and dumb, in darknesses [45]. Allah lets whom He wills go astray, and guides whom He wills to the straight path.

[45] Whoever denies the signs of Allah, all paths of guidance are closed to him, and his example is like that of a mute, deaf person who is in deep darkness. Because of the darkness, he cannot see anything himself; because of being deaf, he cannot hear words of guidance; and because of being mute, he cannot ask anyone. If such a person is not misguided, then who will be? However, if a person changes his attitude and begins to reflect upon the signs of Allah, then Allah shows him the straight path.
