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.
Indeed, those who fear their Lord [15] unseen will have forgiveness and a great reward.

Besides Faith in the Unseen, No Other Foundation Can Prevent a Person from Sins or Create Noble Character:
Fearing Allah without seeing Him is the very foundation upon which the edifice of a person’s noble character is built, and through which his life is morally refined. All other foundations besides this are weak and unstable. For example, one is that a person himself considers something to be evil; another is that people consider that act to be bad; a third is that the act has negative effects on other members of society; and a fourth is that the act is, according to the law of the government, a punishable offense. None of these foundations is such that it can make a person noble and moral. Neither are people watching him at all times, nor is the government. Therefore, when it comes to his personal interests, a person finds thousands of ways to escape the grasp of people or the law. If anything can prevent a person from sins, it is this belief that Allah is watching him in every situation. He is aware even of the thoughts in his heart. Then, He also has full power to question and punish him. The lives of such people automatically begin to improve. Allah will forgive their minor sins anyway, and then He will grant such people Paradise as well.
