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.
40. 1. He prayed for himself as well as for his offspring, just as previously he had prayed for himself and his offspring that they be protected from worshipping stone idols. From this, it is understood that the callers to Allah's religion should not be negligent regarding the guidance of their own family members and their religious education and upbringing; rather, they should give them priority in preaching and invitation, just as Allah Almighty commanded His last Prophet Muhammad ﷺ (وَ اَنْذِرُ عَشِیْرَتَکَ الْاَقْرَبِیْنَ) 26. Ash-Shu'ara:214) "Warn your closest relatives."
