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.
There they will have whatever they desire, and they will abide there forever. This is a promise from your Lord that is always fulfilled [20].
[20] This is Allah’s definite promise to the believers and the pious that He will grant them Paradise. In this Paradise, whatever they desire will be provided to them, and they will abide therein forever. These are three components of a single promise, and regarding this promise, Muslims are being instructed to keep supplicating to Allah for it and to keep asking for Paradise. Just as Muslims have been taught this supplication: ﴿رَبَّنَا وَآتِنَا مَا وَعَدتَّنَا عَلَىٰ رُسُلِكَ﴾
