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.

Among these unseen things is also the knowledge of that punishment for which these disbelievers are impatient, but its time too has been written by Allah in the Preserved Tablet, which only He knows. And when that time comes which He has written for the destruction of a nation, then He destroys it. Why are they impatient before this appointed time arrives?
