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 9) {يَوْمَ تَمُوْرُ السَّمَآءُ مَوْرًا: ’’مَارَ يَمُوْرُ مَوْرًا‘‘} (n) The rapid movement of something and shaking forcefully back and forth and to the right and left, overturning, spinning. {’’ مَوْرًا ‘‘} is a verbal noun for emphasis, therefore it is translated as "severe shaking." {’’ يَوْمَ ‘‘ ’’ لَوَاقِعٌ ‘‘} is its adverbial phrase, meaning the punishment of your Lord will occur on the day when there will be a severe shaking in the sky and it will spin with great speed and eventually split apart. For the states that will occur to the sky on the Day of Resurrection, see Surah Al-Furqan (25), Ar-Rahman (37), Al-Haqqah (16), Al-Ma'arij (8), Al-Muzzammil (18), Al-Mursalat (9), An-Naba (19), At-Takwir (11), Al-Infitar (1), Al-Inshiqaq (1), Ibrahim (48), Al-Anbiya (104), and Surah Az-Zumar (67).
