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.

152. 1 Allah's wrath was that killing was made necessary for repentance. And before that, as long as they lived, they were deemed deserving of humiliation and disgrace.

152. 2 And this punishment is not specific to them alone; whoever fabricates (slanders) against Allah, We give him the same punishment.
