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.
72. They will be women with beautiful eyes, secluded in pavilions [44].
[44] In fact, this verse provides some detail of the previous verse. Beauty is greatly influenced by the eyes. The more blackness in the pupil and the more whiteness in the white of the eye, the more beautiful the eye appears. So this is a quality of their appearance, and the quality of their character is that they will never leave their tents. And by tents are meant those tents of the wealthy which they take with them on journeys for recreation and leisure.
