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 6,5) {بَلْ يُرِيْدُ الْاِنْسَانُ …: ’’ لِيَفْجُرَ ‘‘ ’’فَجَرَ فُجُوْرًا‘‘} (n) To lie, to commit sin, to commit adultery. That is, there is no other reason for denying the Resurrection; rather, the real matter is that man wants to continue disobeying and sinning in his future days as well. Now, if he believes in the Resurrection, it demands that he abandon sin, which he is not willing to do. In other words, he is not denying the Resurrection because of reason, but lust has blinded him; therefore, he asks not for preparation, but to mock and deny: when will that sudden time of rising come?

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.

5. 1. That is, he disobeys and denies the truth in the hope that no Resurrection will come.

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.

5. But man desires to continue in his sinful ways, defying Allah’s commands [4].

[4] The real issue is not that man does not consider Allah Almighty capable of recreating him. Rather, the real issue is that by accepting this, he does not want to impose restrictions on his free lifestyle. He knows very well that if he accepts the belief in the Hereafter, he will have to obey Allah and His Messenger and live a very disciplined and cautious life. The simple solution he has found is to deny the Day of Resurrection altogether. And his condition is exactly like that of a pigeon who, upon seeing a cat, closes its eyes and deceives itself into thinking that the danger has now passed.
