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.
1. Corruption is the opposite of reform. Corruption spreads in the land through disbelief and disobedience, and peace and tranquility are attained through obedience to Allah. The role of hypocrites in every era has been that they spread corruption, promote evil deeds, and violate the limits set by Allah, yet they think and claim that they are striving for reform and progress.
