Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
Verily, in this [what We did as regards drowning of the people of Nûh (Noah)], there are indeed Ayât (proofs, evidence, lessons, signs, etc. for men to understand), for sure We are ever putting (men) to the test.

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.
30-1. That is, in this account of Nuh ؑ, the believers were saved and the disbelievers were destroyed; there are signs in this matter that whatever the Prophets bring from Allah, they are truthful in it. Also, that Allah Almighty is capable of everything and is aware of every matter in the struggle between truth and falsehood, and when the time comes, He takes notice of it and seizes the people of falsehood in such a way that no one can escape from His grip.
30-2. And We have continued this trial through the Prophets and Messengers.
