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.
48. 1. These are the attributes of the Torah which was given to Musa (peace be upon him). In it also, there was admonition only for the muttaqin. Just as the Noble Quran is also called (ھُدَی لِّلْمُتَّقِیْنَ), because those whose hearts do not have the taqwa of Allah, they do not pay attention to the Book of Allah, so how can a heavenly book become a source of admonition and guidance for them? For admonition or guidance, it is necessary that attention be paid to it and it be pondered upon.
