فَوَرَبِّ ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ إِنَّهُۥ لَحَقٌّ مِّثْلَ مَآ أَنَّكُمْ تَنطِقُونَ ﴿23﴾
Then by the Lord of the heaven and the earth, it is the truth (i.e. what has been promised to you), just as it is the truth that you can speak.
فَوَرَبِّ fawarabbi Then by (the) Lord
ٱلسَّمَآءِ l-samāi (of) the heaven
وَٱلْأَرْضِ wal-arḍi and the earth
إِنَّهُۥ innahu indeed, it
لَحَقٌّۭ laḥaqqun (is) surely (the) truth
مِّثْلَ mith'la (just) as
مَآ [what]
أَنَّكُمْ annakum you

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.

Then by the Lord of the heaven and the earth, this is surely as true as your speech [17].

[17] That is, just as you have no doubt or uncertainty in your own speech, likewise there is no room for any doubt or uncertainty in this statement either. The Day of Resurrection will certainly be established. The Hereafter will surely come. Your deeds will definitely be accounted for. Then you will also be given the due punishment.
