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.
14-1. That is, when the people of Hell, distressed by the torment of Hell, will wish that if only death would come to them, that they may be annihilated. Then it will be said to them that now do not call for one death, but call for many deaths. The meaning is that now, for you, there are various kinds of punishments forever, that is, deaths upon deaths; how long will you keep demanding death?
