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 99) ➊ {وَ تَرَكْنَا بَعْضَهُمْ يَوْمَىِٕذٍ يَّمُوْجُ فِيْ بَعْضٍ :} By "that day" is meant the time when the wall built by Dhul-Qarnayn will be destroyed, and Gog and Magog will surge forth in countless numbers like the waves of the sea. This very condition is described in «{ وَ هُمْ مِّنْ كُلِّ حَدَبٍ يَّنْسِلُوْنَ [ الأنبیاء : ۹۶ ].
➋ By {وَ نُفِخَ فِي الصُّوْرِ فَجَمَعْنٰهُمْ جَمْعًا:’’ الصُّوْرِ ‘‘} is meant the horn into which the angel will blow, and the Resurrection will be established. This explanation is established from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) himself, as he said: [ اَلصُّوْرُ قَرْنٌ يُنْفَخُ فِيْهِ ] [ أبوداوٗد، السنۃ، باب في ذکر البعث والصور : ۴۷۴۲۔ الصحیحۃ : ۱۰۸۰ ] "The Sur is the horn into which it will be blown." The blowing mentioned in this verse refers to the second blowing, by which all people will come out of their graves and gather in the field of Resurrection.
