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.
39. 1. Whose life is for a few days only. And even that, compared to the Hereafter, is equal to a moment of morning or evening.
39. 2. Which has no decline or end, nor will there be any departure or moving away. Whoever enters Paradise or Hell, both their lives will be everlasting. One is a life of comfort and ease. The other is a life of torment. Neither the people of Paradise nor the people of Hell will experience death.
