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.

12. Surely, the grip [8] of your Lord is severe.

[8] Such criminals should firmly keep in mind that when Allah seizes, His seizure is so severe that it wipes out every trace of such criminals from the face of existence. Moreover, this seizure is certain to come, whether sooner or later. And if someone escapes such a seizure in this world, he will never be able to escape it in the Hereafter.
