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.
29-1. By "Yawm al-Fath" is meant the Day of Judgment, the day of final decision in the Hereafter, where faith will not be accepted and no respite will be given. It does not refer to the day of the conquest of Makkah, because on that day the Tulaqa’ accepted Islam, whose number was approximately two thousand (Ibn Kathir). By Tulaqa’ is meant those people of Makkah whom the Prophet ﷺ, on the day of the conquest of Makkah, forgave instead of punishing or disciplining, and set them free by saying that today you will not be punished for your previous oppressive actions. Thus, the majority of them became Muslim.
