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.
105. When that Day comes, no one will be able to speak except by Allah’s permission [117]. Then among them, some will be wretched and some will be blessed.

The Strict Conditions for Intercession with Allah:
Those people who rely on the intercession of their elders should take a lesson from this verse. In the stories about the saints, we often find such tales that a certain elder will sit with pride and will not be pleased until he has secured forgiveness for each of his disciples, and will not enter Paradise himself, and in the end, he will make Allah accept his request. However, that day will be so severe that even the Prophets will hesitate to intercede for people before Allah, and in the end, the lot will fall to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he alone will intercede before Allah. Without a doubt, the intercession of other Prophets and some other righteous people is also proven from the hadith, but there are very strict conditions for this intercession. One is that only that person will be able to intercede who has been granted permission by Allah, and even then, he will only be able to intercede for the one for whom Allah wills, and only for that particular sin for which Allah allows intercession. Therefore, those who rely on such intercession will have to face severe disappointment there.
