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.
89. Except for those who come to Allah with a sound heart [64]."
[64] Verses 88 and 89 can be considered as part of the supplication of Hazrat Ibrahim (peace be upon him) or as the statement of Allah Almighty. In the first case, the meaning would be: "Do not disgrace me on the Day when neither wealth nor children will be of any use." That is, my father's wealth will not benefit him on that day, nor will I be able to help him. The only thing that will be of benefit is obedience to Allah. Whoever comes with a submissive heart will be successful. In the second case, these are the attributes of the Day of Resurrection as stated by Allah Almighty.
