قَالَ سَنَشُدُّ عَضُدَكَ بِأَخِيكَ وَنَجْعَلُ لَكُمَا سُلْطَـٰنًا فَلَا يَصِلُونَ إِلَيْكُمَا ۚ بِـَٔايَـٰتِنَآ أَنتُمَا وَمَنِ ٱتَّبَعَكُمَا ٱلْغَـٰلِبُونَ ﴿35﴾

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.
35. Allah said, "We will strengthen your arm through your brother and grant both of you such authority that they will not be able to harm you. With Our signs, you and those who follow you will be the victors [45]."
[45] In response to this request, Allah Almighty mentioned three matters. First, that those people would never be able to harm him in any way, and not a hair on his head would be touched. Instead of killing him, they would be preoccupied with their own governmental affairs. Second, the request to make his brother Harun a prophet and send him along was accepted. He would accompany you to Pharaoh’s court. Third, he was assured that ultimately, victory would be his.
