Tafsir al-Quran al-Karim — Hafiz Abdus Salam Bin Muhammad Bhutvi
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 9){ اَفَلَا يَعْلَمُ اِذَا بُعْثِرَ مَا فِي الْقُبُوْرِ:} That is, man is ungrateful to his Lord and, due to intense love for wealth, he falls short in fulfilling the rights of his Master. So, does he not know of that time when everything that is in the graves will be thrown out and all the dead within them will be brought out alive from the graves? {’’ اَفَلَا يَعْلَمُ ‘‘} (So does he not know of that time) means: does he not fear that time, thinking what answer he will give to his Master?
