Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran (Facilitation of the Quran) is a comprehensive Quran commentary by Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. Known for his eloquent and accessible writing style, Kilani authored this tafsir with a focus on clarity — making Quranic meanings understandable to the common reader. The tafsir provides detailed historical context for verses related to battles and expeditions, and firmly refutes modernist ideologies using strong scriptural evidence. It is widely regarded as an invaluable resource for understanding the Quran and countering deviant interpretations. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.
1. By the (panting) horses [1] that run with panting breath,
[1] Like Surah Ash-Shams, at the beginning of this Surah, Allah Almighty swears by several contrasting things, such as night and day, male and female, and says that just as the characteristics of day and night, and male and female, are mutually opposed and different, in the same way, O children of Adam! The deeds you perform in this world are also mutually opposed and different. Therefore, the results of your striving and actions are different and ought to be different. They can never be the same.
