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.

67. 1 Allah Almighty replied that when We created man for the first time without any precedent, then why would recreating him be difficult for Us? Is it more difficult to create for the first time or to recreate him? How ignorant and self-forgetful man is; this self-self-forgetfulness has made him self-forgetful of God.
