The English translation of Tafseer Ahsanul Bayan, originally written in Urdu, available in five parts with high-quality two-color printing.
This is the tafsir of the Glorious Quran which is brief in form but comprehensive in interpretation of the meanings of the Quran — enlightened with the thoughts, viewpoints, creed and perception of the Salaf as-Salihin, and a humble effort to understand the Quran in the light of the authentic Sunnah.
Why Brevity Is the Point
Because most people who buy a tafsir never finish it, and the reason is almost always length rather than interest.
A commentary that surveys every scholarly position on every verse is indispensable to a researcher and defeating to a general reader. One that says what the verse means, notes what the Salaf understood by it, and moves on is a commentary that gets read from beginning to end.
Its Origin
Ahsanul Bayan is among the most widely used tafsirs in the Urdu-speaking world, and it has been the standard household commentary in the subcontinent for decades. This English edition brings it to readers who have heard it referred to all their lives without being able to read it.
The Two-Color Printing
More useful than decorative. It separates the Quranic text from the commentary at a glance, which in a book with two layers on every page saves the eye a great deal of work.
