Tafsir Ahsanul-Bayan is a concise, verse-by-verse English commentary on the Quran, combining the Hilali-Khan translation with explanatory notes grounded in authentic hadith and the understanding of the Salaf (early generations). This Volume 1 covers Surah Al-Fatiha through Surah Al-Ma'idah (Surah 5), the first of five volumes in the complete set.
About This Tafsir
The commentary was written by Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf and translated into English by Mohammad Kamal Myshkat, published by Darussalam. Rather than a lengthy academic commentary, Ahsanul-Bayan is deliberately brief in form but comprehensive in substance — each ayah is followed by focused explanatory notes drawing on the Salaf's own understanding and the Prophet's ﹡ hadith, making it practical for regular study rather than only reference use.
What Volume 1 Covers
This volume runs from Surah Al-Fatiha to the end of Surah Al-Ma'idah (Surah 5), 678 pages in hardcover. The complete 5-volume set continues through to Surah An-Nas: Volume 2 (Al-An'am to Hud), Volume 3 (Yusuf to An-Nur), Volume 4 (Al-Furqan to Fussilat), and Volume 5 (Ash-Shura to An-Nas) — all available separately from Darussalam UK.
Frequently Asked Questions

Surah Al-Fatiha through Surah Al-Ma'idah (Surah 5).
Who wrote this tafsir and who translated it?
The commentary is by Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf, translated into English by Mohammad Kamal Myshkat.
Do I need to buy all 5 volumes, or can I buy Volume 1 on its own?
Each volume is sold separately and covers a distinct set of surahs, so Volume 1 stands on its own for Al-Fatiha through Al-Ma'idah — buy further volumes as you progress through the Quran.
How is this different from a full Quran translation like The Noble Quran?
The Noble Quran (Hilali-Khan) is primarily a translation; Ahsanul-Bayan adds ongoing explanatory commentary (tafsir) after each ayah, drawing on hadith and classical scholarship, rather than translation alone.
What format and language is it in?
English, 678 pages, hardcover, 14 x 21 cm.
