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.
22-1. The creation of so many languages in the world is also a very great sign of Allah's power. Then, within each language, there are different dialects and styles. Similarly, even though all people are from the same parents (Adam and Hawwa عليهما السلام), their colors are different from each other—some are dark, some are fair—and their appearances are also different from each other, their speaking accents are distinct, and even their voices are separate from one another; one brother is different from another brother. But it is the perfection of Allah's power that still, the inhabitants of one country are distinguished from the inhabitants of another country.
