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.
(Ayah31) ➊ {جَنّٰتُ عَدْنٍ :} Gardens of everlasting abode, because in them every need and desire will be present. In the world, even the greatest amusement places and the best of homes become tiresome, but in Paradise, despite living there forever, the heart will never tire, because whatever the heart desires will be made available. It is said: « { فَلَا تَعْلَمُ نَفْسٌ مَّاۤ اُخْفِيَ لَهُمْ مِّنْ قُرَّةِ اَعْيُنٍ جَزَآءًۢ بِمَا كَانُوْا يَعْمَلُوْنَ } » [ السجدۃ : ۱۷ ] "So no soul knows what has been hidden for them of comfort for eyes as reward for what they used to do."
➋ {كَذٰلِكَ يَجْزِي اللّٰهُ الْمُتَّقِيْنَ :} That is, Allah rewards those who fear Him and avoid what He has forbidden in this way, just as gold and silk have been made forbidden for men, and it is said, these things are for them (the disbelievers) in this world and for us in the Hereafter. See Surah Adh-Dhariyat (15, 16) and Surah Al-Qamar (54, 55).
