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){ كَلَّا بَلْ تُكَذِّبُوْنَ بِالدِّيْنِ :} That is, the reason for being deceived is not that you have great trust in the mercy of your Generous Lord, rather this is a false notion that you will neither be resurrected nor recompensed for your deeds. In reality, the root cause of all evil deeds is the denial of the Day of Recompense, and this is what you are denying.
