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.
74. 1. Historians mention two names for the father of Ibrahim (علیہ السلام): Azar and Tarakh. It is possible that the second name is a title. Some say that Azar was the name of his uncle, but this is not correct, because the Quran has mentioned Azar as the father of Ibrahim (علیہ السلام), therefore this is correct.
