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.
3. 1. This was said to refute the denial and following of the disbelievers of Makkah, that every action has an end, whether the action is good or bad. That is, ultimately its result will come forth, the result of a good action will be good and the result of a bad action will be bad. The manifestation of this result can also occur in this world if Allah's will so requires, otherwise in the Hereafter it is certain.
