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.

At the end of the surah, those who deny the Resurrection are addressed again: Eat and benefit in this world, this provision is very little, as He said: « قُلْ مَتَاعُ الدُّنْيَا قَلِيْلٌ» [ النساء : ۷۷ ] "Say, the provision of this world is very little." Surely you are criminals; on the Day of Resurrection, there is great ruin and destruction for deniers like you.

Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan is a well-known Quran commentary by Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan.

The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.

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.

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.

46. Eat and enjoy yourselves for a little while [26]. Indeed, you are criminals.

[26] This address is to all the disbelievers and deniers of the Hereafter in the world: they have time until their death, during which they may live freely, enjoy themselves, and gather as much wealth and property as they can. And they are given free rein to say whatever they wish in opposition to the signs of Allah. But with death, they will fall into the pit of destruction and ruin.
