Then whoever changes the bequest after hearing it, the sin shall be on those who make the change. Truly, Allâh is All-Hearer, All-Knower.

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.

181. Then whoever changes the will after hearing it, its sin shall be upon those who alter it [227]. Surely, Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.

[227] That is, if the deceased made a just bequest, but any authorized heir alters or annuls it, or several heirs together make changes to it, then all of them will be sinful, and Allah Almighty is the Hearer of such selfish people's words and Knower even of their intentions.
