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.
6. All this happens because Allah alone is the Truth [6]; He gives life to the dead, and He is capable of everything.

Three Meanings of Allah Being "The Truth":
This phrase can have three meanings, and all three are correct. First, that here "Haqq" means "true." That is, from both of these examples it becomes clear that Allah Ta'ala is declaring resurrection after death to be final and certain, so His statement is absolutely true. Second, that the very being of Allah Ta'ala is a solid reality. His existence is not an imaginary one that has been accepted due to intellectual difficulties, as is the view of philosophers who, after connecting the chains of cause and effect and becoming helpless, are compelled to accept a being as "Necessary Existence" or "First Cause." In contrast, Allah Ta'ala is a living, eternal being who acts according to His will in everything and has control over everything. And third, that whatever is manifesting in this universe is based on solid realities. Allah Ta'ala did not create this entire universe and the events occurring within it merely for amusement. And there are countless other verses of the Quran that bear witness to all three of these meanings.
