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.

28. 1. The meaning is that there is no one to save the disbelievers from Allah's punishment, whether Allah destroys His Messenger and those who believe in him through death or killing, or grants them respite, or it means that despite our faith, we remain between fear and hope, so who will save you from punishment despite your disbelief?
