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.

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 {لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَّقُوْنَ :} That is, the benefit of warning such people will be that your warning will increase their fear of Allah and they will refrain from sins. This verse also refutes those disbelievers who believed that their deities and idols would intercede with Allah Almighty and save them. Similarly, there is a lesson in this for those who, relying on the intercession of their elders, remain heedless and continue to sin without fear, because on the Day of Judgment, no intercession will be of any avail without the permission of Allah Almighty.

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.

[54] Do not be concerned about the guidance of all people; rather, be sure to care for those who have already believed, who have faith in the Hereafter, and who, with the awareness of accountability before Allah and fear of the punishment of Hell, are fearful. Be sure to convey the commands of revelation to them. And as for those who do believe in the Hereafter but also hold the belief that they are the descendants of the pious or that the pious will intercede for them and save them, warn them that on that Day, no intercession will be of any use, nor lineage, nor even the closest of relatives. Therefore, everyone should be concerned about their own deeds; this is the way for them to become righteous. And some commentators say that the addressees of this verse are not the believers but the disbelievers, because they are the ones who fear going before Allah the most. Therefore, there is a greater need to warn them; this meaning is also accommodated within this verse.
