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.
53. 1. That is, they ask whether this Resurrection and the raising of humans after they have turned to dust is a reality, and Allah Almighty has said, O Prophet! Say to them that your becoming dust and mixing with the earth cannot prevent Allah Almighty from bringing you back to life. Therefore, it will certainly happen. Imam Ibn Kathir states that there are only two other verses in the Quran similar to this verse, in which Allah Almighty has commanded His Prophet to swear an oath and announce the occurrence of the Resurrection. One is Surah Saba, verse 13, and the other is Surah Taghabun, verse 7.
