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 31) {فَحَقَّعَلَيْنَاقَوْلُرَبِّنَاۤاِنَّالَذَآىِٕقُوْنَ :} This is the fourth answer as a result of the previous three answers, meaning We did not force you to remain in disbelief, rather, in reality, neither were you believers nor were we; just as we were criminals, so were you criminals. Therefore, the outcome was that both became deserving of punishment, and as a recompense for disbelief and polytheism, the punishment our Lord had promised: « لَاَمْلَـَٔنَّجَهَنَّمَمِنَالْجِنَّةِوَالنَّاسِاَجْمَعِيْنَ »[ السجدۃ : ۱۳ ] (Surely I will fill Hell with jinn and humans all together), that promise was fulfilled upon us.
