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.
7. 1 By helping Allah is meant helping the religion of Allah, because according to the means, He helps His religion through His believing servants. These believing servants protect the religion of Allah and propagate and invite towards it, so Allah helps them, meaning He grants them victory and dominance over the disbelievers, as is evident from the bright history of the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them all) and the early generations of Muslims. They became devoted to the religion, so Allah became theirs; they made the religion dominant, so Allah made them dominant over the world, as He said in another place: ولینصرن اللہ من ینصرہ۔ الحج۔ Allah will surely help those who help Him. Allah surely helps the one who helps Him.
7. 2 This refers to steadfastness at the time of battle, meaning help and assistance in the places of war. Some say it means being kept steadfast on Islam or on the Bridge of Sirat.
