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.
10. 1. These are the same youths who were called the Companions of the Cave, (details are coming ahead). When they took refuge in the cave to protect their religion, they made this supplication. In the story of the Companions of the Cave, there is a great lesson for the youth; nowadays, most of the time of young people is wasted in useless activities and there is no attention towards Allah. If only today's Muslim youth would spend their youth in the worship of Allah.
