The tafsir provides detailed historical context for verses related to battles and expeditions, and firmly refutes modernist ideologies using strong scriptural evidence. It is widely regarded as an invaluable resource for understanding the Quran and countering deviant interpretations. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.

46. Whoever does a good deed, it is for his own benefit; and whoever does evil, it is to his own detriment. And your Lord is not unjust to His servants [60].

[60] That is, your Lord has no desire to punish His servants without reason. Nor can He commit such injustice as to not reward those who do good, or to not punish those who do evil for their wrongdoing.
