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.

And with them will be modest, of equal age [57] wives.

The Literal Meaning of ﴿اتراب﴾:

﴿اتراب﴾ means such women of the same age who also possess harmony in temperament. There are two possibilities for this: one, that these women are of the same age among themselves; and second, that they are of the same age as their husbands, and both scenarios are possible.
