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.
60. 1. Shirk so paralyzes human intellect that a person sees guidance as misguidance and misguidance as guidance. Guidance and misguidance become theoretical. Thus, the same state of heart occurred with the people of Nuh; to them, Hazrat Nuh (AS), who was inviting his people towards the oneness of Allah, appeared—God forbid—as misguided. That which was bad, gradually became good. The conscience of nations turns into slavery.
