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 35){ اَيَعِدُكُمْ اَنَّكُمْ اِذَا مِتُّمْ … :} In the previous verses, the rejection of the Messenger is mentioned, and in this verse, the rejection of his message, that is, the denial of the Resurrection, is mentioned. In their view, being brought back to life after death was impossible, although for the One who created the first time, recreating is not at all difficult. From the beginning of this blessed surah {’’ وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الْاِنْسَانَ ‘‘} up to the mention of Noah (peace be upon him), the arguments are all about life after death.
