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.
12. 1 That is, by mentioning the revival of the dead here (an act associated with the Day of Resurrection), it is also intended to indicate that Allah, from among the disbelievers, gives life to whomever He wills, who have become dead due to disbelief and misguidance. Thus, they accept guidance and faith.
12. 2 By this is meant the Preserved Tablet, and some have taken it to mean the Books of Deeds.
