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.
22. 1. In these verses, the virtue of those believers is mentioned who migrated and participated in jihad with their lives and wealth. It is said: With Allah, their rank is the highest and they are the successful ones; they alone are deserving of Allah's mercy, pleasure, and everlasting blessings—not those who praise themselves and prefer their ancestral customs over faith in Allah.
