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. By matters of the unseen (اَمُوْر غَیْبُۃ) are meant those things which cannot be perceived by intellect and senses. Such as the Essence of Allah, revelation, Paradise and Hell, angels, punishment of the grave, and resurrection, etc. From this it is understood that to have faith in matters beyond intellect and perception as told by Allah and His Messenger ﷺ is a part of faith, and their denial is disbelief and misguidance.
2. By establishment of prayer (اقامت صلٰوۃ) is meant to perform prayer regularly and according to the Sunnah of the Prophet, otherwise even the hypocrites used to pray.
3. The word spending (اَنْفَاقْ) is general, which includes both obligatory and voluntary charity. The believers, in accordance with their obedience, do not show negligence in either, rather, spending properly on parents and family is also included in this and is a source of reward.
