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 61) ➊ { ذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّ اللّٰهَ يُوْلِجُ الَّيْلَ فِي النَّهَارِ … :} That is, Allah Almighty, who helps the oppressed and the destitute, does so because it is not difficult for Him; He is capable of everything. He merges the night into the day, making the day prevail over the night and the day becomes longer, and He merges the day into the night, making the night prevail over the day and the night becomes longer. So, how can it be difficult for Him to make the oppressed prevail over the oppressors?

{ وَ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ سَمِيْعٌۢ بَصِيْرٌ :} That is, the second reason for Allah Almighty's help to the oppressed is that He is fully aware of everyone's condition, hearing and seeing everything. While hearing and seeing, how can He tolerate oppression?
