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.
49. 1. That is, people will be engaged in buying and selling in the markets and, as usual, involved in arguments and disputes when suddenly the trumpet will be blown and the Day of Resurrection will be established. This will be the first blowing, which is also called the blowing of terror (نفخہ فزع). It is said that after this there will be a second blowing, نَفْخَۃُ الْصَّعْقِ, by which everyone except Allah will pass into the embrace of death.
