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.
41. 1. That is, the conditions of the Day of Judgment which are being described through revelation, listen to them attentively. 41. 2. This caller will be the angel Israfil or Jibril, and this call will be the one by which people will be gathered in the plain of Mahshar. That is, the second blowing of the trumpet. 41. 3. Some have taken by this the rock of Bayt al-Maqdis, saying that it is the place closest to the sky, and according to others, it means that every person will hear these voices as if the sound is coming from right near him (Fath al-Qadeer).
