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.
212-1. In these verses, the protection of the Quran from satanic interference is mentioned. Firstly, because it is not befitting for the devils to bring down the Quran. Their purpose is the spread of evil, corruption, and indecency, whereas the purpose of the Quran is to command goodness, promote virtue, and prevent indecency. In other words, both are opposites and mutually exclusive. Secondly, the devils do not have the power to do so. Thirdly, at the time of the Quran’s revelation, the devils were kept away and deprived from listening to it; stars were made as guards in the heavens, and whenever a devil would ascend, these stars would fall upon him like lightning and burn him. In this way, Allah Almighty made special arrangements to protect the Quran from the devils.
