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.

41. (And) darkness will cover [22] them.

[22] On the Day of Resurrection, people will be divided into two groups, and their signs will be evident from their faces. The faces of those obedient to Allah will be radiant, cheerful, and smiling. Waves of happiness will surge in their hearts, while some people’s faces will be stricken with fear. Their color will be pale, their faces distorted and lifeless, and these will be the disobedient and immoral people. Thus, even before people are divided into groups, it will be recognizable to which group each person belongs.
