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.
7. No! [5] The records of the wicked is in Sijjin, a register [6].
[5] That is, your belief is false that neither the Resurrection will come nor will you be held accountable. Rather, you will certainly be held accountable.
[6] Sijjeen: "Sijn" means prison, jail, and "sajn" means to imprison someone as a punishment after conviction in court. "Sijjeen" refers to the place or register where the records of the deeds of evil-doers are kept, and the souls of such people are also kept imprisoned at this place until the Day of Resurrection. According to some of the predecessors, this place is beneath the seven earths.
