سُوْرَةُ الْاَحْقَافِ
Surah Al-Ahqaf (46) — Ayah 31
يَـٰقَوْمَنَآ أَجِيبُوا۟ دَاعِىَ ٱللَّهِ وَءَامِنُوا۟ بِهِۦ يَغْفِرْ لَكُم مِّن ذُنُوبِكُمْ وَيُجِرْكُم مِّنْ عَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ ﴿31﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
O our people! Respond (with obedience) to Allâh’s Caller (i.e. Allâh’s Messenger Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم), and believe in him (i.e. believe in that which Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم has brought from Allâh and follow him). He (Allâh) will forgive you of your sins, and will save you from a painful torment (i.e. Hell-fire)

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.
31. 1 The jinn invited their people to believe in the Prophethood of the Noble Prophet ﷺ. Before this, it was mentioned regarding the Noble Quran that it is another heavenly book after the Torah, which guides towards the true religion and the straight path.
31. 2 Here, the benefits of believing are mentioned, which they will attain in the Hereafter. In "من ذنوبکم", "من" is partitive, meaning He will forgive some sins, and these will be the sins related to the rights of Allah, because the rights of people will not be forgiven. This verse is evidence that in reward and punishment, and in commands and prohibitions, the same ruling applies to the jinn as to humans.
