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.
36. 1. This is being said to the Prophet ﷺ and the Muslims by the disbelievers that if your belief is clear and authentic that there will be resurrection, then bring our forefathers back to life and show us. This was their obstinacy because the belief in resurrection is related to the Day of Judgment, not to bringing someone back to life in this world before the Day of Judgment.
