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.
4. On that night, every matter of wisdom is decided [3] by Our command.

What Kind of Decisions Are Made on ﴿ليلة القدر﴾?
That is, on the night in which the Quran was revealed, firm and lasting decisions regarding important matters that will occur in the world in the coming year are made and handed over to the angels. And these decisions are entirely based on wisdom, and this same subject is mentioned in Surah Al-Qadr as follows: "On that night, the angels and Jibreel descend with every command by the permission of their Lord" [97: 4]. From this verse, it is understood that regarding the management and order of the universe, this is a night in which Allah hands over the destinies of individuals, nations, and countries to His angels after making decisions. Then, they continue to implement these decisions accordingly. That is, decisions regarding the life and death of individuals or nations, victory and defeat, rise and fall, famine and abundance, and sustenance, etc., are made on this very night.
