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.
(Ayah 26) { اَلْمُلْكُ يَوْمَىِٕذِ الْحَقُّ لِلرَّحْمٰنِ …:} That is, all those temporary and illusory dominions of the world will come to an end, by which man remains deceived, and apparently, inwardly, in form—that is, in every respect—the sovereignty will belong to the Most Merciful alone, and only His command will prevail. And that day will be very hard upon the disbelievers. This too will be a demand of His mercy upon the believers, because the happiness they will attain by seeing their enemies punished cannot be attained in any other way. (Biqā‘ī) Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: [ يَطْوِي اللّٰهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ السَّمَاوَاتِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ثُمَّ يَأْخُذُهُنَّ بِيَدِهِ الْيُمْنٰی ثُمَّ يَقُوْلُ أَنَا الْمَلِكُ، أَيْنَ الْجَبَّارُوْنَ؟ أَيْنَ الْمُتَكَبِّرُوْنَ؟ ] [ مسلم، صفات المنافقین، باب صفۃ القیامۃ والجنۃ والنار : ۲۷۸۸ ] "Allah Almighty will fold up the heavens on the Day of Resurrection, then He will take them in His right hand and say: I am the King, where are the tyrants? Where are the arrogant ones?" And see Surah Az-Zumar (67) and Al-Mu’min (16). For the subject of that day being hard upon the disbelievers and easy upon the believers, see Surah Al-Muddathir (8 to 10).
