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 17){ اِنَّ يَوْمَ الْفَصْلِ كَانَ مِيْقَاتًا : } That is, from making the earth a bedding for you up to the end of the verses, whatever has been created, if from the creation of the world until its end, all the good or evil done in it is never recompensed, neither is the oppressor questioned nor is the oppressed given justice, then all of this would be pointless. Therefore, be certain that a day has been appointed for the judgment of all deeds done in the world. Allah the Exalted has expressed this same subject in this verse: «وَ خَلَقَ اللّٰهُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الْاَرْضَ بِالْحَقِّ وَ لِتُجْزٰى كُلُّ نَفْسٍۭ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ وَ هُمْ لَا يُظْلَمُوْنَ » [ الجاثیۃ : ۲۲ ] “And Allah created the heavens and the earth with truth, and so that every soul may be recompensed for what it has earned, and they will not be wronged.”
