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.

13. And to Us belong the Hereafter and the present world (both) [6].

[6] That is, We are the owners of the Hereafter as well as the world. Now, whoever seeks only the world from Us, We give him only as much of the world as We will, and whoever seeks the Hereafter from Us, We certainly grant him the Hereafter, and also give him as much of the world as is destined for him.
