سُوْرَةُ الطَّلَاقِ
Surah At-Talaaq (65) — Ayah 11
رَّسُولًا يَتْلُوا۟ عَلَيْكُمْ ءَايَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِ مُبَيِّنَـٰتٍ لِّيُخْرِجَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ مِنَ ٱلظُّلُمَـٰتِ إِلَى ٱلنُّورِ ۚ وَمَن يُؤْمِنۢ بِٱللَّهِ وَيَعْمَلْ صَـٰلِحًا يُدْخِلْهُ جَنَّـٰتٍ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا ٱلْأَنْهَـٰرُ خَـٰلِدِينَ فِيهَآ أَبَدًا ۖ قَدْ أَحْسَنَ ٱللَّهُ لَهُۥ رِزْقًا ﴿11﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
(And has also sent to you) a Messenger (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم), who recites to you the Verses of Allâh (the Qur’ân) containing clear explanations, that He may take out those who believe and do righteous good deeds, from the darkness (of polytheism and disbelief) to the light (of Islamic Monotheism). And whosoever believes in Allâh and performs righteous good deeds, He will admit him into Gardens under which rivers flow (Paradise) to dwell therein forever. Allâh has indeed granted for him an excellent provision.

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.
A Messenger [25] who recites to you the clear verses of Allah, so that He may bring those who believe and do righteous deeds out of darkness into light [26]. And whoever believes in Allah and does righteous deeds, Allah will admit him into gardens beneath which rivers flow, to abide therein forever. Allah has prepared an excellent provision for such a person.
[25] That is, not only was the Quran revealed, but also a Messenger, namely Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, was sent, who recites its clear verses and also teaches the way to act upon its commands and instructions.
[26]
The Merits of the Shari'ah Family Laws:
By darknesses are meant the darknesses of ignorance. And these darknesses are not just one, but countless. Whatever laws man makes to solve his problems, they are always deficient. Because his limited intellectual capacity is unable to encompass all aspects of society. That is why there is a constant need for amendment and abrogation in these laws. In contrast, by light is meant the light of the knowledge of revelation, which has always been one, is unalterable, un-abrogable, and protected from human interference. The full importance of this statement is understood at this point when we reflect upon the family laws of the ancient and modern world. From this comparative study, it becomes clear that despite repeated changes and ever-new legislation, no nation has ever been able to obtain such a reasonable, natural, and beneficial law for society as was given to us by this Book and its Messenger one and a half thousand years ago.
