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.

10. Indeed, we fear from our Lord a Day that will make faces grim and hearts distressed [13].

[13] That is, those who do good deeds, despite not expecting any reward or even gratitude, remain fearful that some shortcoming may remain in their actions. And that on that Day, we might be questioned, the very sight of which will distort everyone's faces and fill them with awe and terror.
