وَيَجْعَلُونَ لِمَا لَا يَعْلَمُونَ نَصِيبًا مِّمَّا رَزَقْنَـٰهُمْ ۗ تَٱللَّهِ لَتُسْـَٔلُنَّ عَمَّا كُنتُمْ تَفْتَرُونَ ﴿56﴾

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.
56. 1. That is, those whom they consider as fulfillers of needs, removers of difficulties, and deities, are either stone idols or jinn and devils, whose reality they do not even know. Similarly, no one knows the reality of the people buried in graves—what is happening to them there? Are they among Allah’s favored individuals or in some other list? No one knows these matters, but despite being unaware of their reality, these wrongdoers have made them partners with Allah and have allocated a share for them as offerings from the wealth given by Allah. In fact, if Allah’s share is left, it is left, but they do not reduce the share of their partners, as has been mentioned in Surah Al-An’am.
56. 2. The falsehood you attribute to Allah—that He has partners or associates—regarding this, you will be questioned on the Day of Resurrection.
