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.
4. 1. By "روح" is meant Jibril (Gabriel) ؑ; due to his great status, he is mentioned separately, otherwise he is also included among the angels. Or by "روح" is meant human souls which are taken up to the heavens after death, as mentioned in some narrations. There is much difference of opinion regarding the definition of this "day," as we have explained at the beginning of Alif Lam Meem Sajdah.
