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.
19. The Day when no soul will be able to do anything for another, and on that Day, the command will belong entirely to Allah.
[13] In the world, there are many kinds of people who have authority over others—for example, kings over their subjects, officers over their subordinates, parents over their children, masters over their servants or slaves—but on that Day, all these authorities will come to an end. No one will dare to utter a word before Allah. On that Day, the command will belong solely and exclusively to Him, and everyone will be compelled to submit to it.
