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.
154. 1 Here, by "نسخہ" is meant either the original tablets on which the Torah was written, or it refers to the second copy that was prepared by transcribing from the original after the tablets were broken due to being thrown forcefully. However, the first meaning seems more likely, because it is mentioned later that Musa (Moses) (AS) picked up the tablets, which indicates that the tablets were not broken. In any case, the intended meaning is "contents," which has been adopted in the translation.
154. 2 The Torah, like the Noble Quran, has also been described as guidance and mercy for those people who fear Allah, because the real benefit from the heavenly books is obtained only by such people. Other people, since they have closed their ears to hearing the truth and their eyes to seeing the truth, generally remain deprived of this fountain of grace.
