Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran — Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani
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.

The Day of Judgment Will Be Established Upon the Worst of People:
It is mentioned in the hadith that «لاتقوم الساعة الآ عليٰ شرار الناس», meaning the Day of Judgment will be established when evil becomes so widespread that all righteous people will have departed from the world or will have been taken away. Many signs of the Day of Judgment are mentioned in the ahadith, but its exact time has not been informed to anyone, nor has anyone been told the time of their death. Therefore, revealing these matters is contrary to Allah’s will, and the very purpose for which man was created would be lost.
