Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan — Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf

Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan is a well-known Quran commentary by Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. This tafsir explains the meanings of the Quran in accordance with the methodology of the Salaf (early righteous generations), relying on authentic sources and straightforward language. Due to its reliability and adherence to sound Islamic scholarship, the Saudi government publishes and distributes this tafsir among the Hujjaj (pilgrims) visiting the Haramain. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.

141. 1. In Uhud, the temporary defeat that befell the Muslims due to their own shortcomings also contains many wisdoms for the future, which Allah is explaining ahead. One is that He may make the believers manifest (because patience and steadfastness are requirements of faith); those who demonstrated patience and steadfastness in the hardships and calamities of battle, indeed, all of them are believers. Second, that He may grant some people the rank of martyrdom. The last two mean purification and deliverance from sins (فتح الْقدیر). The late translator has adopted the first meaning. Fourth, that He may destroy the disbelievers. This is such that, through temporary victory, their rebellion and arrogance will increase, and this very thing will become the cause of their destruction and ruin.

Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran — Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani

Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran (Facilitation of the Quran) is a comprehensive Quran commentary by Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. Known for his eloquent and accessible writing style, Kilani authored this tafsir with a focus on clarity — making Quranic meanings understandable to the common reader. 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.

141. And so that Allah may purify the believers (through this trial) and destroy the disbelievers [128].

[128] The third wisdom is that true Muslims may stand out distinguished before everyone, and the disbelievers, emboldened by this temporary victory, may come again to attack the Muslims so that they may be recompensed for their deeds. Thus, later in the Battle of Khandaq, the disbelievers were defeated and fled. After that, they no longer had the strength to launch an aggressive attack against the Muslims.
