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.
81. 1. That is, like humans, meaning the recreation of humans just as He created them the first time, the creation of the heavens and the earth is an argument for the recreation of humans. Just as it is stated elsewhere (لَخَلْقُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرضِ اَکْبَرُ مِنْ خَلْقِ النَّاسِ) (اَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا اَنَّ اللّٰهَ الَّذِيْ خَلَقَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضَ وَلَمْ يَعْيَ بِخَلْقِهِنَّ بِقٰدِرٍ عَلٰٓي اَنْ يُّـحْيِۦ الْمَوْتٰى ۭ بَلٰٓي اِنَّهٗ عَلٰي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيْرٌ) 46:33) 'The creation of the heavens and the earth (in the view of people) is a more difficult task than the creation of humans.'
