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.
43. So hold fast to what has been revealed to you. Surely, you are on the straight [42] path.
[42] And you ﷺ should also stop worrying about when Allah’s punishment will descend upon these polytheists. All of this depends on Our wisdom and discretion. Nor should you worry about when Islam will attain dominance. For your reassurance, it is sufficient that you are on the right path. All you need to do is to continue acting exactly according to the guidance you are receiving from Allah, and leave it to Allah as to when He crushes falsehood and grants dominance to the truth.
