Verily! Those who believe not in the Ayât (proofs, evidence, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of Allâh, Allâh will not guide them and theirs will be a painful torment.

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.

(Ayah104) {اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ لَا يُؤْمِنُوْنَ …:} The meaning of "guidance" is both to show the straight path and to grant the ability to walk upon it. Here, the second meaning is intended. That is, those who do not believe in Allah's verses, Allah does not grant them guidance to the right path. They are the ones who make such baseless statements. Is it even conceivable that a person whose own language is not Arabic could author a book as eloquent and articulate as the Quran?
