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.
3. He created the heavens and the earth in truth, and He is far above [5] what they associate with Him.

Harmony in the Universe, Proof of Tawheed:
In the Quran, Allah Almighty has, in countless places, presented the creation of the earth and the heavens as proof in refutation of shirk. This means that there is harmony in every single thing in the universe. Every part and particle of the universe supports and confirms the other. Then, within the system of this universe, there are countless benefits, wisdoms, and wise purposes. And all the outcomes that are produced are constructive in nature. If there had been anyone else involved in the creation of this universe, such a system could never have come into existence, and even if, hypothetically, it had come into being, it would have immediately fallen into chaos. Thus, every single thing in the universe testifies that the Creator has no partner.
