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 12,11){ كَلَّاۤ اِنَّهَا تَذْكِرَةٌ … : ’’ كَلَّاۤ ‘‘} Never! That which happened, happened; henceforth, this should never happen again, because this Quran is an admonition for everyone, both the elite and the common people. No one should be given preference over another in this matter. Then, whoever wishes may accept the admonition—it is for their own benefit. And if any arrogant person, after hearing the admonition, does not accept it, then you also do not need to leave those who accept it and pursue him.

11. By no means should it be so [6]. This (Quran) is indeed a reminder.

[6] That is, the honor and value of the Quran does not depend on the acceptance of such arrogant and obstinate people. If these people do not act upon the admonition of the Quran, they only harm themselves. The Quran has no concern for them, nor is there any need for you to pursue such people.
