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.
166. When those who were followed (the leaders) see the punishment [205], they will disown those who followed them, and all ties between them will be cut off.
[205] In this world, many matters of the realm of causes are hidden from human eyes. But on the Day of Resurrection, when all these causes will be clearly seen, then they will realize that all authority and power belonged only to Allah and still belongs to Him, and we had nothing at all. But at that time, their regret will be of no use, and they will be subjected to severe punishment.
