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 10) ➊ {اَعَدَّ اللّٰهُ لَهُمْ عَذَابًا شَدِيْدًا:} In the previous verses, the punishment of this world was mentioned; in this, the punishment of the Hereafter is mentioned.
{فَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ يٰۤاُولِي الْاَلْبَابِ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا:} This "fa" is "fasihah," which expresses an omitted condition, meaning: when you have heard the state of those towns that rebelled against the commands of Allah and His messengers, then O people of intellect who have believed! You should avoid disobeying the commands of Allah and His messenger.
➌ On {قَدْ اَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُ اِلَيْكُمْ ذِكْرًا : ’’ ذِكْرًا ‘‘} the tanween is for exaltation, meaning a great admonition.

The Various Meanings of "Dhikr":

In verse number 10, "Dhikr" refers to the Noble Quran, and this word has been used in this meaning multiple times in the Quran. For example, Allah says: ﴿اِنَّا نَحْنُ نَزَّلْنَا الذِّكْرَ وَاِنَّا لَهٗ لَحٰفِظُوْنَ﴾ meaning, "Indeed, We have sent down this Quran, and indeed, We are its Guardian." It should be clear that the literal meaning of "Dhikr" is reminder and admonition. That is, this Quran reminds man of the Covenant of Alast, and also of the teachings of previous messengers. And if "Dhikr" is taken in its broader meaning, it refers to all the revelation that was sent down to you, and which presents the explanation and interpretation of the Quran itself. That is, Allah has not only taken the responsibility of protecting the words of the Quran, but also the responsibility of protecting its correct explanation and interpretation. By this, every false doctrine can be tested.
