سُوْرَةُ النِّسَآءِ
Surah An-Nisaa (4) — Ayah 170
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ قَدْ جَآءَكُمُ ٱلرَّسُولُ بِٱلْحَقِّ مِن رَّبِّكُمْ فَـَٔامِنُوا۟ خَيْرًا لَّكُمْ ۚ وَإِن تَكْفُرُوا۟ فَإِنَّ لِلَّهِ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۚ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ عَلِيمًا حَكِيمًا ﴿170﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
O mankind! Verily, there has come to you the Messenger (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) with the truth from your Lord. So believe in him, it is better for you. But if you disbelieve, then certainly to Allâh belongs all that is in the heavens and the earth. And Allâh is Ever All-Knowing, All-Wise.

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.

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.
170. O people! The Messenger has come to you from your Lord with the religion of truth [223]. So it is better for you to believe. But if you disbelieve, then (know that) whatever is in the heavens and the earth belongs to Allah alone, and Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.
[223] That is, the proof from Allah has been completed against you, and on the Day of Resurrection you will have no excuse to present, and all testimonies will go against you. Therefore, it is better that you take heed in time and, by believing in the Messenger and in the signs of Allah, improve your life in the Hereafter. Otherwise, on that Day, you will never be able to escape Allah’s grasp and His punishment. He is the One who has complete control and authority over everything in the universe. He knows all your mischiefs as well, and He also knows how to deal with those who violate His commands.
