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 20) {وَ قَالُوْا يٰوَيْلَنَا هٰذَا يَوْمُ الدِّيْنِ :} On the Day of Resurrection, the regret of the disbelievers and their blaming themselves is being mentioned, that at that time they will call out for their own destruction and will say, "Alas for our ruin! This is the Day of Recompense," although at that time, regret will be of no benefit.
