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.
9. 1. Jihad with the disbelievers is with fighting, and with the hypocrites, by establishing the limits of Allah upon them when they commit acts that necessitate the prescribed punishments.
9. 2. That is, in invitation and preaching, adopt severity and harshness in the commands of Shariah, because these are brutes who will not accept through words. This means that the wisdom of preaching sometimes requires gentleness and sometimes severity; gentleness is not appropriate everywhere, nor is severity always beneficial. In preaching and invitation, depending on the circumstances and individuals, there is a need to use either gentleness or severity.
9. 3. That is, the abode of both the disbelievers and the hypocrites is Hell.
