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.
And He is the only God in the heavens and the only God on the earth [77], and He is the All-Wise, the All-Knowing.

Some gods of the polytheists are in the heavens and some on the earth:
The polytheists have made some gods in the heavens, such as angels, the sun and the moon, and many other planets, and some on the earth, such as idols, shrines, trees and stones, and the tombs of saints. Then they do not even understand, and they have become stubborn upon their claim. And they have resorted to futile kinds of contentious arguments. Therefore, leave them to their state. On the Day of Resurrection, they will come to know by themselves that only one Being can be the true deity. And He alone is the Creator and Owner of the entire universe. Only His sovereignty exists, His authority and power are in effect. All other things are His creation and possession, which, let alone benefiting or harming others, do not have any power to benefit or harm even themselves in any way.
