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.
Allah knows the treachery of the eyes [27] and what the hearts conceal.

Types of Movements of the Eyes:
There are countless movements of the eyes. Most of them are blameworthy and fall under the category of "Kha'inat al-A'yun" (the deceit of the eyes). For example, winking as a form of taunt or sarcasm, then there is the glance of mockery, and there are also silent conversations through the eyes. Sometimes, people secretly look at non-mahram women with lustful intent, hiding it from others. Allah knows all these types of gestures of the eyes, and He is also aware of the thoughts in the hearts that result in such gestures and movements of the eyes.
