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.
On that Day, some faces will be humbled [2].
[2] On that day, all creation will be divided into two groups: one, those who lived in this world as obedient servants of Allah; and the other, those who were disobedient and rebellious. The disobedient people are mentioned first, because they will be aware of their deeds. Therefore, even before the books of deeds are given and before the reckoning and judgment, their faces will be downcast and fearful, because they will be seeing their end before them.
