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.
2. 1. This burden pertains to the forty-year period of life before Prophethood. In that period, although Allah protected you ﷺ from sins, you ﷺ never prostrated before any idol, never drank alcohol, and remained distant from other evils as well, however, in the well-known sense, you ﷺ neither had knowledge of nor performed the worship and obedience of Allah, but your ﷺ feelings and consciousness had made it a burden. Allah, by announcing its removal, bestowed a favor upon you ﷺ.
