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.
24-1. This verse highlights the virtue of patience. Patience means to endure with a cheerful heart the hardships that come in fulfilling Allah’s commands and in affirming and following His messengers. Allah said that due to their patience and their belief in the divine signs, We appointed them to the position of religious leadership and guidance. But when they began to commit the opposite—alteration and distortion—this status was taken away from them. Thus, after that, their hearts became hardened, and neither their deeds remained righteous nor their belief authentic.
