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 5){ فَالْمُدَبِّرٰتِ اَمْرًا :} Then they manage the affairs of whatever religious or worldly task they are commanded. In the Noble Qur’an, the things by which oaths are sworn are either to draw attention to their uniqueness or to mention them as testimony for the forthcoming response to the oath. Here, the response to the oath is not explicitly stated, but by mentioning the conditions of the Resurrection, it is automatically understood that these oaths are sworn to assure that the Resurrection will certainly take place. The Arabs acknowledged that the angels are appointed by Allah for the taking of souls and for managing other affairs. By mentioning these attributes of the angels and swearing by them, it is on this basis that the angels, by Allah’s command, seize souls, move swiftly throughout the universe, and manage the affairs of the universe; by the same command of Allah, they can blow the trumpet to bring this universe to an end, and by blowing again, they can bring it back to life anew.

5. Then those who arrange affairs by command [5],

[5] Then, whatever command the angels receive regarding the souls—whether it is a command of reward or punishment—they immediately devise a way to implement it. And if the generality of the words is considered, then it refers to all those angels who are appointed by Allah Almighty for the management of the affairs of the universe.
