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. The Prophet ﷺ had a strong desire that everyone should become Muslim, and accordingly, he ﷺ would make efforts, but Allah Almighty said that faith is not destined for them. These are those few specific people upon whose hearts a seal has been set (such as Abu Jahl and Abu Lahab, etc.), otherwise, countless people became Muslim through the Prophet’s ﷺ invitation and preaching, until the entire Arabian Peninsula came under the shade of Islam’s compassion.
