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.
14. 1. That is, he was not disobedient to his parents or to his Lord. This means that if Allah Almighty creates in someone's heart the feeling of compassion and love for parents, and the motivation to obey, serve, and treat them well, then this is His special grace and favor. And the opposite feeling or attitude is the result of being deprived of Allah Almighty's special grace.
