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.
37. 1. That is, such a miracle that would compel them to believe, like an angel descending before their eyes, or a mountain being lifted and raised over them, as was done with the Children of Israel. It is said: Allah certainly can do this, but He has not done so because then the matter of testing human beings would come to an end. Moreover, if a miracle was shown at their demand and yet they did not believe, then they would immediately be given a severe punishment in this very world. Thus, it is as if in this wisdom of Allah, there is also a worldly benefit for them.
37. 2. Those who cannot comprehend the wisdom of Allah's command and will.
