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.
35. There they will hear neither idle talk nor lies [23].
[23] If someone is asked whether they had lied, they respond by saying, "Why would I need to lie?" This implies that when a person lies, it is due to some necessity. This necessity may be to gain some benefit or to avoid some hardship or difficulty. For these two reasons, a person lies, gets into disputes, quarrels, and engages in vain talk. However, in Paradise, there will be no possibility of any hardship, nor will there be any need to seek benefit, because all kinds of blessings will already be available to them. Therefore, in Paradise, there will never be any need for lying, slander, backbiting, or other vain talk.
