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.
30. On that Day, We will ask Hell, "Are you filled [35]?" And it will say, "Are there any more?"

Hell Speaking on the Day of Judgment:
If Hell answers Allah’s question not just in the language of state but also in the language of speech, there is nothing surprising in it. Allah can grant the power of speech to whatever He wills. Two things are understood from Hell’s answer. First, that Hell will be so large and vast that even after all those deserving of Hell have entered it—whether they are humans, jinn, or devils—there will still be space left in it. And this is also understood from the following hadith: Sayyiduna Anas ؓ says that the Prophet ﷺ said: “The people of Hell will be thrown into Hell, and Hell will keep saying, ‘Is there any more?’ until Allah places His foot upon it, then it will say, ‘Enough, enough (I am full).’” [بخاري۔ كتاب التفسير]
And secondly, that on that day Hell will be blazing with such rage and fury that in response to Allah’s question, it will say, “Bring all those who deserve to enter me; today I will leave none.”
