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.

For every news there is an appointed time [74], and soon you will know.

[74]
The Arrival of Sayyiduna Sa'd bin Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) for Umrah:

An example of this is the incident that the chief of the Ansar tribe Aws, Sa'd bin Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him), came to Makkah with the intention of performing Umrah before the Battle of Badr and stayed with his ally and friend Umayyah bin Khalaf and expressed his intention to him. At that time, Abu Jahl, the chief of Makkah, had imposed the restriction that no Muslim should be allowed to enter the Ka'bah or perform Tawaf. Due to his leniency, Umayyah bin Khalaf took Sayyiduna Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) to the Ka'bah. While he was performing Tawaf, Abu Jahl saw him and lashed out at Sayyiduna Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him). Sayyiduna Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) replied sternly that if you stop me, I will block your trade caravan and make your life miserable. Umayyah, addressing Sayyiduna Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him), said, "Speak gently to Abu Jahl. He is the chief of Makkah."

The Prophecy Regarding Umayyah bin Khalaf:

Sayyiduna Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Do not take Abu Jahl's side so much. I have heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that you will be killed at the hands of his companions." Umayyah asked, "Here in Makkah?" Sayyiduna Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) replied, "I do not know." Then he said, "The cause of your killing will be this very Abu Jahl." [بخاري۔ كتاب المناقب۔ باب علامات النبوة فى الاسلام]
This was a piece of news, and the time for the fulfillment of this prophecy was the Battle of Badr. In this battle, Abu Jahl forced Umayyah bin Khalaf to go, where both of them were killed in utter humiliation. In the same way, for every piece of news and the appearance of punishment known through revelation, a fixed time is appointed, and when that time comes, its appearance is inevitable, and this is the meaning of "mustaqarr."
