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. The polytheists would make a lot of noise when the Quran was being recited so that the Quran could not be heard; this too is abandonment. Not believing in it and not acting upon it is also abandonment. Not reflecting upon it and not acting upon its commands and not avoiding its prohibitions is also abandonment. Similarly, to leave it and give preference to another book is also abandonment, meaning the forsaking and leaving of the Quran, against which, on the Day of Judgment, Allah’s Messenger will file a complaint in the court of Allah.
