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.
4. The angels and the Spirit descend therein by the permission of their Lord with every command [3].
[3] By "the Spirit" is meant Jibreel Amin, who is mentioned separately due to his high status and rank. Such a great number of angels descend that the whole earth is filled with them, and by "every command" is meant the destinies of human beings, which are decided on this night. As detailed previously under the verse of Surah ad-Dukhan: ﴿فِيْهَايُفْرَقُكُلُّاَمْرٍحَكِيْمٍ﴾.
