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.
27. Only the Face of your Lord, full of Majesty and Honor, will remain [18].

Everything is Perishable; the Exception is Only for Allah:
That is, whatever is created is contingent, and only Allah’s Essence is eternal. Whatever has been made, whether it is inanimate, will inevitably cease to function one day, become ruined, destroyed, and perish. And whatever is living will also certainly face death. Only Allah’s Essence and Attributes are eternal and everlasting. Therefore, nothing except them will remain. By Allah’s Attributes are meant, for example, the Speech of Allah or the Quran, or the Preserved Tablet, and the books of deeds, etc. As for the angels, especially the bearers of the Throne, Allah knows best about them, because in several places in the Quran, angels attribute their speech to Allah. For example, when Jibreel came before Lady Maryam and said ﴿لِاَهَبَ لَكِ غُلٰمًا زَكِيًّا﴾ [22:19], even though granting a child or offspring is an attribute and act of Allah, not of the angels.
