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.
1. There are several meanings of guidance: to direct towards the path, to set someone on the path, to make someone reach the intended destination. In Arabic, this is expressed as irshad, tawfiq, ilham, and dalalat, meaning: guide us towards the straight path, grant us the ability to walk upon it, and grant us steadfastness upon it, so that we may attain Your pleasure (the intended destination). This straight path cannot be attained merely through intellect and intelligence. This straight path is al-Islam, which the Prophet ﷺ presented before the world and which is now preserved in the Qur'an and authentic ahadith.
