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.
20. 1. Because they have neither any knowledge of anything nor any power over anything; they are both unaware and powerless, whereas for judgment both knowledge and authority are necessary, and these two qualities are found only with Allah. Therefore, only He has the right to judge, and He will certainly judge with truth, because He will neither fear anyone nor have any greed or desire from anyone.
