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.
18. 1. The meaning is that these disbelievers of Makkah, who are ignorant of everything, if they do not believe, then do not worry, because those who possess knowledge and are acquainted with the reality of revelation and prophethood have believed in it. Rather, after hearing the Qur'an, they have fallen in prostration before Allah, declare His purity, and have faith in the promises of their Lord.
