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.
54. The people of Paradise will recline on couches whose linings are of thick silk, and the fruits of the two gardens [35] will be hanging low within reach.
[35] In these verses, the blessings of Allah upon the people of Paradise are mentioned; that is, the mattresses on which they will recline will have linings of thick silk, and the upper fabric will, in any case, be of an even better material, which probably does not exist in this world. These mattresses will be in those very gardens, which will be their own private residences, and the fruits of those gardens will be so low-hanging that whenever and whichever fruit they desire, they will be able to pick it with their hands and eat it immediately.
