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.
5. 1. By this is meant the sky, which is like a roof for the earth. The Quran has called it a 'protected roof' at another place; some have taken this to mean the Throne, which is the roof for all creation. (وَجَعَلْنَا السَّمَاۗءَ سَقْفًا مَّحْفُوْظًا) 21. Al-Anbiya:32). Some have taken this to mean the Throne, which is the roof for all creation.
