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.

The Literal Meaning of ﴿هلوعا﴾:

﴿هَلُوْعًا﴾ means restless, unstable, not remaining in one state, one who is immediately affected by changing circumstances. That is, man is naturally created like this. This condition is found in an ordinary worldly person or the majority of people. And those who believe and reform themselves, their hearts no longer remain in this state; instead, patience, tranquility, and stability are produced in their hearts.
