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 الظّٰلِمِيْنَ اَعَدَّ لَهُمْ عَذَابًا اَلِيْمًا:} That is, He has prepared a painful punishment for the wrongdoers. Here, {’’ الظّٰلِمِيْنَ ‘‘} refers to the polytheists, because they are the greatest wrongdoers, as He said: « اِنَّ الشِّرْكَ لَظُلْمٌ عَظِيْمٌ » [لقمان: ۱۳] "Indeed, polytheism (shirk) is surely a great injustice." It is understood that Allah deprives only the wrongdoers from His mercy, as He said: «يُضِلُّ بِهٖ كَثِيْرًا وَّ يَهْدِيْ بِهٖ كَثِيْرًا وَ مَا يُضِلُّ بِهٖۤ اِلَّا الْفٰسِقِيْنَ (26) الَّذِيْنَ يَنْقُضُوْنَ عَهْدَ اللّٰهِ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ مِيْثَاقِهٖ وَ يَقْطَعُوْنَ مَاۤ اَمَرَ اللّٰهُ بِهٖۤ اَنْ يُّوْصَلَ وَ يُفْسِدُوْنَ فِي الْاَرْضِ اُولٰٓىِٕكَ هُمُ الْخٰسِرُوْنَ » [ البقرۃ : 27،26 ] "He misguides many thereby and guides many thereby, but He does not misguide thereby except the defiantly disobedient. Those who break the covenant of Allah after contracting it and sever that which Allah has ordered to be joined and cause corruption on earth—it is those who are the losers." May Allah, by His grace and mercy, admit us also into His mercy and protect us from the painful punishment. (Ameen)

[34] That is, whoever in this world uses his free will correctly and, like the other things in the universe, keeps himself obedient to Allah, Allah will, by His mercy, admit him to Paradise. And whoever misuses this free will and lives as rebellious and disobedient to Allah, He will, upon his death, subject him to a painful punishment.
