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.
9. 1. ہاویہ is the name of Hell. It is called ہاویہ because the inhabitants of Hell will fall into its depth. And it is described as "ام" (mother) because just as a mother is a refuge for a person, similarly, the abode of the inhabitants of Hell will be Hell itself. Some say that the meaning of "ام" is "brain." The inhabitants of Hell will be thrown into Hell headfirst. (Ibn Kathir)
