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.
48. Both gardens will have long, spreading branches [32].
[32] ﴿افنان﴾ is the plural of ﴿فن﴾, meaning a very large and long branch; that is, all the trees in these two gardens will each have two large branches. Then, from these branches, smaller twigs will emerge. In this verse, Allah's power is manifested in that the growth and development of the trees in these gardens will be completely uniform and harmonious with each other.
