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 169) {اِلَّا طَرِيْقَ جَهَنَّمَ خٰلِدِيْنَ فِيْهَاۤ اَبَدًا ……:} That is, when they die in a state of disbelief and do not repent before death, they will go straight to Hell and will remain there forever. Taking them to Hell and then keeping them there forever is not difficult for Allah Almighty at all. Therefore, even now they have the opportunity to refrain from disbelief and stubbornness and to adopt the following of the Prophet (peace be upon you).
