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.
So exalted is Allah, the True King. There is no deity except Him [108]; He is the Lord of the Mighty Throne.

Allah Almighty Has Never Created Anything in Vain:
That is, Allah alone is the true Creator, Owner, and King. His majesty is far above creating anything in vain or without benefit. Whatever He has created, He has done so for multiple purposes and benefits. The intended results from these creations are being achieved and will continue to be achieved. His Being is also far above not punishing the wrongdoers for their oppression, or not giving the sincere servants their full reward for their deeds. Besides Him, there is no such ruler who can influence His decisions or, by intercession, cause any change in His judgments. The reason is that He alone is the Owner of the greatest thing in the universe, that is, the Mighty Throne; then what significance can anything else have?
