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.

28. And you will see every community kneeling [41]; every community will be called to its record of deeds. Today you will be recompensed for what you used to do.

[41] That is, first, separate groups will be formed for every kind of criminal. And the terror of the scenes of the Day of Judgment will be so intense that they will not be able to stand; they will be sitting on their knees, frightened, waiting to see what decision will be made regarding them. At that time, all the arrogance of the proud will vanish.
