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.
15. 1. There are three occasions that are extremely severe and terrifying for a human being: 1. When a person comes out of the mother's womb, 2. When the grip of death seizes him, 3. And when he is resurrected from the grave, he will find himself surrounded by the horrors of the Day of Gathering. Allah Almighty has said that in these three places, there is safety and security for him from Our side. Some people of innovation try to prove the permissibility of "Eid Milad" (celebration of the Prophet's ﷺ birthday) from this verse, but if someone asks them, then it would also be necessary to celebrate "Eid Wafat" or "Eid Mamat" (celebration of death) on the day of death, because just as there is peace for the day of birth, there is also peace for the day of death. If merely the word "peace" can establish "Eid Milad," then by the same word, "Eid Wafat" can also be established. But where is the celebration of death? In fact, there is outright denial of death itself, that is, by denying the death of the Prophet ﷺ, they not only deny the clear text of the Quran, but according to their own reasoning, they accept one part of the verse and, in the light of their own argument, deny what is established by the other part of the same verse. (ۭاَفَتُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِبَعْضِ الْكِتٰبِ وَتَكْفُرُوْنَ بِبَعْضٍ) 2. Al-Baqarah: 85) Do you believe in some of the commandments and disbelieve in others?
