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.
125. 1. One meaning of this is that if you treat us in this way, then you too should be prepared for the fact that on the Day of Resurrection, Allah will give you a severe punishment for this crime, because all of us have to return to Him after death. Who can escape His punishment? In other words, compared to Pharaoh's worldly punishment, he was warned of the punishment of the Hereafter. The second meaning is that death is inevitable for us; what difference does it make whether death comes on the gallows or in some other way?
