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. That is, do not grant dominance and authority to the disbelievers over us, in such a way that they think they are upon the truth, and thus we become a cause of trial for them. Or it means, do not subject us to any punishment at their hands or from Yourself, for in this way too, our existence would become a trial for them; they would say, if these people were upon the truth, why would such hardship befall them?
