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.
Laboring, exhausted [3].
[3] Some commentators have related this verse to the Hereafter and have explained that such people will have collars around their necks and shackles on their feet. In this state, sometimes they will be ordered to climb some height and sometimes to descend. Because of this toil and hardship, they will become utterly exhausted. Others have related it to the world and have explained that they will have become weary from toil and striving in the world, but even their good deeds will be wasted due to shirk or some other reason, so such people will also be extremely fearful of their end.
