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.
In the previous verses, there was mention of the inhabitants of Hell who neither feared their Lord nor had any fear of the Day of Judgment or the punishment for their evil deeds, because they were neither willing to believe in the unseen nor to fear it. In contrast to them, now there is mention of those people who, following the demands of sound intellect and the guidance of Allah’s messengers and chosen servants, believed in Allah, His angels, His messengers, and the Day of Judgment without seeing, and feared their Lord without seeing. If they happened to make a mistake, then as a reward for their fear of Allah in the unseen, Allah will forgive them, and because of this fear of the unseen, He will grant them a great reward for the good deeds they performed. The meaning of "khashyah" is intense fear. In reality, the root of every good deed is faith in the unseen and fear of the unseen, and the main reason for abstaining from sin is also this.
