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.
38. We created the heavens, the earth, and all that is between them in six days, and no fatigue [44] touched Us.

The Accusation of the Jews and Christians Against Allah, Resting on the Seventh Day:
This is a fabricated accusation by the Jews and Christians against Allah, that Allah created the heavens and the earth in six days and rested on the seventh day. Even now, such a statement exists in the Book of Genesis in the Bible [2: 2]. These people considered Allah to be like themselves, that just as we get tired from working, Allah also became tired. To consider Allah to be like oneself or anything else is the greatest misguidance. In this verse, this very accusation of theirs is refuted.
