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.
14. (At that time) every soul will know what it has brought [13].
[13] There will be two things through this knowledge. First, every person will be able to accurately account for his deeds, provided he does not resort to excuses or take the side of his own self. Second, the records of deeds of every person will also be opened and given to them. Through these two things, every person will understand, even before the decision of Allah's court, whether he will be declared deserving of Paradise or of Hell.
