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.
42. 1. The Mighty, the Dominant, who is capable of taking revenge on the disbelievers and punishing them; the Forgiving, who pardons the mistakes and shortcomings of His followers and conceals them. Whereas those whom you are calling me to worship are utterly insignificant and inferior things; they can neither hear nor respond, nor are they capable of bringing benefit to anyone or causing harm.
