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.
65-1 In the previous verses, the question was about Tawheed; this second call is regarding Messengership, that is, We sent Messengers to you—how did you treat them, did you accept their call? Just as in the grave the question is asked: Who is your Prophet? What is your religion? The believer gives the correct answer, but the disbeliever says, I do not know anything. In the same way, on the Day of Resurrection, they will not be able to think of an answer to this question. That is why it is further stated: all news will become blind to them, meaning no evidence will come to their understanding that they can present. Here, by referring to arguments as "ahbar," it is indicated that in reality, they have no evidence for their false beliefs, only stories and tales, just as even today, grave-worshippers have nothing but fabricated tales of miracles.
