Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali

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 34){ اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا وَ صَدُّوْا عَنْ سَبِيْلِ اللّٰهِ … :} In this verse, there is encouragement for the disbelievers and hypocrites to repent from disbelief, hypocrisy, and opposition to Islam before dying, so Allah will forgive your past sins. Otherwise, if death comes in this state, there will be no way for your forgiveness. Allah has repeated this matter in several verses; see Surah Al-Imran (91), Al-Baqarah (161, 162, 217), and Surah An-Nisa (18).
