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 41 to 45){ اِنَّ الْمُتَّقِيْنَ فِيْ ظِلٰلٍ وَّ عُيُوْنٍ …:} Now, in contrast to the deniers, the blessings granted to the righteous are mentioned: instead of the shadow of smoke, they will be enjoying the cool shade of lush trees and the dwellings of Paradise, springs, and fruits of their choice. It will be said to them: Eat and drink with pleasure as a reward for what you used to do. {’’ وَيْلٌ يَّوْمَىِٕذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِيْنَ ‘‘} For the deniers, there will be great destruction on that Day, for before their eyes, those whom they used to mock all their lives will be in luxury and comfort, while they themselves will be burning in the Fire before them. {’’ هَنِيْٓـًٔا ‘‘} That which is obtained without any hardship and, after eating it, there is no heaviness or indigestion of any kind. (Raghib) The fruits of the world are obtained with effort and are sometimes agreeable, sometimes disagreeable, whereas the fruits of Paradise will all be agreeable.

41. Indeed, the righteous [24] will be amid shades and springs.

[24] Here, the word "muttaqin" is used in contrast to "mukazzibin." That is, those people who affirmed the signs of Allah and the Day of Resurrection, who feared Allah and the hardships of the Day of Judgment, and who, fearing accountability before Allah for their deeds, obeyed Allah as much as possible. The outcome for such people will be that they will be in the cool and peaceful shades of Paradise. There will be abundant springs of cool and sweet water. The finest and most desirable fruits will be available for them to eat. No matter how much they eat or drink, they will not suffer any discomfort. And it will be said to them that this is the reward for the deeds you used to perform in the world. And this statement from Allah will be merely to honor and encourage them, for in reality, as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, no one will enter Paradise because of their deeds, but only by the grace and mercy of Allah.
