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.
21. No indeed [14]! When the earth is pounded and crushed completely flat [15],
[14] That is, it is absolutely impossible that you should not be questioned about such deeds, and indeed, such a time is surely coming.
[15] That is, due to continuous earthquakes and shocks on the earth, its mountains will be shattered into pieces, all its highs and lows will be leveled, and the earth will be turned into a flat plain.
