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 41) ➊ In the previous verse, Allah Almighty commanded patience over the absurd talk of the disbelievers and to glorify and praise Him. In this verse, for your consolation, the Day of Resurrection is mentioned, that be patient for a little while, the Day of Judgment for their recompense is about to come. Ibn Atiyyah has interpreted {’’ اسْتَمِعْ ‘‘} as {’’ اِنْتَظِرْ ‘‘}, meaning to wait for that day with patience... If its literal meaning is taken as "listen attentively," then it also means to console you that the Resurrection is so near as if the caller's proclamation is already reaching your ears. Zamakhshari said: The meaning of {’’ وَ اسْتَمِعْ يَوْمَ يُنَادِ الْمُنَادِ ‘‘} is "listen attentively to the state of the Day of Resurrection which I am about to tell you."
➋ { يَوْمَ يُنَادِ الْمُنَادِ:} refers to the time when the trumpet will be blown for the second time, when the angel will blow the trumpet and call all people to come out of their graves and gather in the assembly. See Surah Qamar (6 to 8).
➌ { مِنْ مَّكَانٍ قَرِيْبٍ:} means that every person lying in the graves will hear that call as if it is coming from very close. With current scientific inventions, it has become very easy to understand this matter.
