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.
30. 1. That is, Allah has fixed the Day of Resurrection, the knowledge of which is with Him alone. However, when that appointed time comes, it will not be delayed or advanced by even a moment (اِ نَّ اَجَلَ اللّٰہِ اِ ذَا جَآءَ لَا یُئَوخَّرُ) 71. Nuh:4)
