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.
47. For every nation there is a messenger. Then when their messenger comes, judgment is passed between them with justice [64], and they are not wronged.
[64] And this principle is not exclusive to your ﷺ Ummah alone, rather it has been Allah’s way with all nations that when people become involved in disobedience to Allah, He sends His Messenger to warn them, thus establishing proof against the people. Then some believe in him, while others deny him and become intent on harming him. In this way, a cold and hot battle between truth and falsehood begins, and Allah’s promise is that He supports the followers of truth and subjects the followers of falsehood to humiliation and punishment. And Allah’s decision is based on justice because He does not punish anyone before establishing proof against them.
