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 35 to 37) {هٰذَا يَوْمُ لَا يَنْطِقُوْنَ … :} Here it is stated that the deniers will neither speak on the Day of Resurrection nor will they be permitted to offer excuses, whereas in other places in the Qur'an it is mentioned that they will present their excuses. The reality is that the Day of Resurrection is a long day of fifty thousand years; at the occurrence of Resurrection, they will not be able to speak out of awe, then in order to save themselves, they will begin to present false excuses, will outright deny being guilty, and will swear repeatedly that they never committed shirk, rather they will demand that if there is any evidence against them, it should be presented. When their records of deeds are presented, the testimonies of those who conveyed the truth to them are brought forth, and their mouths are sealed and the testimony of their own limbs is presented, then their speaking will cease and now they will not be permitted to fabricate excuses unnecessarily.
