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.
Indeed, the Hour is surely coming [77], there is no doubt about it, but most people do not believe.

Where the Limits of Reason End, Revelation Begins, and the Foundation of Revelation is Certain Knowledge:
In this verse, in very emphatic words, Allah Almighty is warning mankind that there is no room for doubt in the coming of the Day of Judgment. It will certainly come; it cannot be stopped by anyone’s prevention or unwillingness. The conclusion of rational arguments can only be that a certain thing is possible or should happen, but reason cannot decree that a certain thing will definitely and inevitably occur. This is the work of divine revelation alone, which belongs to the Creator of the universe, who is fully aware of its beginning and end. Incidentally, from this it is also understood that the foundation of religion is not based merely on analogy and reasoning, but its foundation is on divine revelation or certain knowledge.
