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.
6. Who only show off [5].
[5] If this verse is considered related to the previous verse, then it means that whatever prayer they perform, it is not due to Allah's command or fear of the Hereafter, but rather to show off to people. There are two forms of this ostentation: one is that the hypocrites perform prayer so that other Muslims see them and count them among the Muslims; the second is that when they notice someone watching them pray, they embellish and prolong their prayer. Such prayers will not benefit them but will instead become a cause of their destruction, and in reality, such people are also deniers of the Hereafter.
