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.
32. O my people! I fear for you the coming of a Day of crying and wailing [46].
[46]
The Different Meanings of ﴿يَوْمَ التَّنَادِ﴾:
Most commentators have taken ﴿يَوْمَ التَّنَادِ﴾ to mean the Day of Resurrection, the day when those who were obedient will be crying out regarding their leaders (those who were obeyed). The oppressed will be holding onto the oppressor and crying out. The worshippers will be displeased with their objects of worship, and so on. Or it could also mean that the people of Paradise will be calling out to the people of Hell, the people of A'raf to the people of Hell, the inhabitants of Hell to each other, and the people of Paradise to each other. However, those commentators who have taken ﴿يوم التناد﴾ to mean the day when Allah's punishment descends, their interpretation seems more appropriate in the context of the subject matter. That is, at the time of Allah's punishment, all of them will be wailing and lamenting, and in that very state their end will come.
