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.
30. Proceed to the shadow which has three branches [19].
[19] On that Day, hot vapors will rise from Hell, casting a shadow over the inhabitants of Hell. This will only be called a shadow in name, but in reality, it will be intensely hot, and instead of providing shade, coolness, or comfort, its heat will only increase their anxiety and distress. This shadow will rise above and split into three large branches, surrounding them from the front, the back, and above—from every direction. On that Day, Allah’s obedient servants will be under the shade of the Throne, while if any shade is provided to the disobedient, it will only add to their torment.
