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 on the Day when the disbelievers will be presented before the Fire, (it will be said to them), "Is this (Hell) not the truth [47]?" They will say, "Yes, by our Lord, it is the truth." Allah will say, "Then taste the punishment for what you used to deny."
[47] Disbelievers and deniers of the Hereafter deny the Hereafter because if they were to acknowledge it, it would disrupt their freedom. And its example is exactly like a pigeon closing its eyes upon seeing a cat. Even though the pigeon closes its eyes, the cat still remains present there and, in reality, nothing changes. Similarly, the deniers’ rejection of the Hereafter does not actually make any difference, and on the Day of Resurrection, it will be said to them: Now open your eyes and see— is the punishment a solid reality or not, the very thing you used to deny by closing your eyes to it? And on that day, they will have no choice but to admit it.
