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.
180. 1. This contains the declaration of Allah's purity from defects and shortcomings that the polytheists attribute to Allah, such as saying He has offspring or that He has a partner. These deficiencies exist within the servants, and only they are in need of offspring or partners. Allah is far above and pure from all these things, because He is not in need of anyone that He would require offspring or a partner.
