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.
41. 1. In this, Allah Almighty is mentioning His favor that He made it easy for ships to sail in the sea, so much so that you take your children with you in loaded ships, and in another meaning, this refers to the Ark of Nuh ؑ. That is, people were made to board the Ark of Nuh ؑ, from whom later the human lineage continued. In other words, the ancestors of humanity were aboard it.
