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.
26. On that Day, true sovereignty [36] will belong to the Most Merciful, and it will be a hard day for the disbelievers [37].

Sayyiduna Ibrahimؑ Will Be the First to Be Clothed on the Day of Resurrection:
On the Day of Resurrection, obedience and sovereignty will belong to Allah alone, and all people will be raised from their graves completely naked. Thus, Hazrat Aishaؓ says that the Prophetﷺ said: "You will be gathered (on the Day of Resurrection) barefoot and naked." I said: O Messenger of Allah! In that case, men and women will all be looking at each other's private parts! The Prophetﷺ said: "Aishaؓ! The matter of the Day of Resurrection will be far more severe than such thoughts." [بخاری۔ کتاب الرقاق۔ باب کیف الحشر]
And Ibn Abbasؓ says that the Messenger of Allahﷺ stood to deliver a sermon to us and said: "You will be gathered barefoot and naked, just as (Allah Almighty has said in the Quran) He will recreate you as He created you the first time. And among all creation, the first to be clothed will be Hazrat Ibrahimؑ." [بخاری۔ کتاب الرقاق۔ باب کیف الحشر]
Now see, in such a situation, when everyone will be concerned only about themselves, who could even think of kingship, and the kings of the world will be in an even more severe state.
[37] Just as for the believer, the duration of the Day of Resurrection will be made extremely short and easy, for the disbeliever this duration will be long and more severe. Because even in this world, it is an experienced fact that a few moments of calamity seem so much longer and more intense, as if they have been enduring that pain for many years.
