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) {يَعْلَمُوْنَ مَا تَفْعَلُوْنَ :} None of your most hidden deeds, even your intentions and motives, are concealed from them. Therefore, to think that your secretly committed sins will not be recorded and that you will escape their punishment is a grave folly. See further mention of these angels in Surah Qaf (17, 18).

The Angels Who Record Deeds:

Whereas We have appointed watchers over you who are constantly with you at all times; they record your every movement, every word, and every action as they happen, and you are not even aware of it. These recording angels are highly honored. They cannot make any omission or addition in their writing. It is impossible for them to fail to record any of your actions, or to enter something in your record that you did not do. Furthermore, they are also aware of the intention with which you performed any deed. Therefore, it is impossible for there to be any mistake in their recording.
