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.
41-1. At another place it is stated (اَھٰذَا الَّذِيْ يَذْكُرُ اٰلِهَتَكُمْ) 21. Al-Anbiya:36) Is this the person who mentions your gods? That is, he says about them that they do not possess any power. The mere expression of this fact was considered an insult to their gods by the polytheists. Just as even today, if it is said to the grave-worshippers that the pious predecessors buried in the graves do not have the power to control the universe, they say that this is disrespect towards the friends of Allah.
