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.
7. 1. That is, on the lowest heaven, besides adornment, the second purpose of the stars is protection from rebellious devils. Thus, when devils go to listen to something in the sky, the stars fall upon them, by which generally the devils are burned. As is clear from the following verses and ahadith. The third purpose of the stars is also guidance in the darkness of the night. As has been stated at another place in the Quran. Apart from these threefold purposes, no other purpose of the stars has been mentioned.
