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. The belief of Ahl al-Sunnah is that Allah Almighty Himself is on the Throne, in a manner befitting His majesty. However, in terms of His knowledge, He is everywhere. That is, nothing is outside His knowledge and awareness. However, some misguided sects do not accept that Allah Almighty is on the Throne and say that Allah Almighty is present everywhere, and they use this verse to prove their belief. But just as this belief is incorrect, this argument is also not correct. The meaning of the verse is that the Being who is called Allah in the heavens and the earth, and who has sovereignty in the heavens and the earth, and who is considered and accepted as the true deity in the heavens and the earth, that Allah knows your hidden and apparent (matters) and whatever you do (Fath al-Qadeer). There are also some other interpretations of this, which people of knowledge can see in the commentaries. For example, Tafsir al-Tabari and Ibn Kathir, etc.
