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.
39. 1. Most of the Salaf say that in this verse, the command for jihad was given first of all, and two objectives have been mentioned here. The end of oppression and the exaltation of the word of Allah. Because if the oppressed are not helped and their grievances are not redressed, then in the world the powerful will not let the weak and the helpless live, due to which the earth will be filled with corruption. And if falsehood prevails, then due to the dominance of falsehood, there will be no peace and tranquility in the world, nor will there remain any place of worship for those who take the name of Allah (for further explanation, see the footnote of Surah Baqarah, verse 251).
