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.
6. Indeed, We have adorned the lowest heaven with the beauty of stars [4].

The Existence of the Heavens is a Solid Reality:
The stars shining in the blue sky appear as if diamonds and emeralds are embedded in it. Just looking at this beautiful scene brings comfort to a person. The astronomers of the present age do not believe in any sky. According to them, the sky is merely the limit of vision. Whereas in the Book and Sunnah it is explicitly mentioned that the sky is a solid reality and their number is seven. Today's astronomers state that many stars are millions and tens of millions of miles away from the earth, and they also state that the light of these stars is not their own, but according to the principle of reflection of light, they appear illuminated and shining only by the light of the sun. In fact, even the light of our moon is dependent on the light of the sun. Now the Quran says that We have adorned the lowest heaven with stars. This means that all the research of these experts is still below the lowest heaven. And the rest of the heavens will come after that, which may be beyond the capacity of man.
